The Sun King and the Winter Moon

The Night Birds and the Birds Of Morning
 Sang together for a spell
 Till the Night Birds song became a warning
 A warning they knew all too well
 Morning would be coming soon
 They flew off toward the Winter Moon
 And they followed her down as down she fell
 They followed her down as down she fell
 How far down I'll never tell
 Followed her down as down she fell
 As down she fell she called out to him
 "Aren't you cold without me dear?"
 Her silver tongue sent shivers through him
 He pretended not to hear
 But she knew him like no others did
 She knew where all his hurt was hid
 He followed her down but he never got near
 He followed her down but he never got near
 He had no hope and he had no fear
 He followed her down but he never got near
 When the Sun King rose that afternoon
 he looked like he had been through hell
 All night he'd chased that Winter Moon
 Ask him why, he could not tell
 But when she finally turned to him
 We all saw his light grow dim
 And he followed her down as down she fell
 He followed her down as down she fell
 How far down I'll never tell
 He followed her down as down she fell
 So fly away home you Birds Of Morning
 fly away all you Night Birds too
 Or all your songs will die a'borning
 All except this mournful tune
 about the Sun King and the Winter Moon
