Red Moon

It's a quiet night by a still lake
 The child falls, the bough breaks
 Trust fails, play ends
 Faith is born, the work begins
 Dawn breaks in a strange world
 Of violent men and painted girls
 Love comes, love goes
 And the world goes by
 I've seen lows, I've seen highs
 I've seen days when I had to cry
 The light fades and the night comes
 The streets are dark and dangerous
 I dream of an old friend
 Of quiet talks that never end
 Love comes, Love goes
 And the world goes by
 There's an old man on his last legs
 Calls his children to his bed
 He reaches out to an empty space
 A smile comes to that gentle face
 I dream of a new world
 Where vows are made, where a cry is heard
 Love dies, love grows and the world goes by
 A warm wind and a red moon and the world goes by
 It's a sweet life by a still lake
 The creature falls, the bough breaks
 The word is out, there's no denial
 The past weighs on the reconciled
 I'd follow you to the ends of this earth
 Through the raging storms, through the pain of birth
 Love comes, love goes and the world goes by
 A warm wind, a red moon and the world goes by
