Moondog by @leifvollebekk

When I was young and I was barely free
Just a boy upon my mother's knee
Was that the wind howling through the trees
Or was that you
Calling to me
Calling to me

You showed me where the candle flame was black
I said oh babe I never noticed that
And with your breasts pressed against my back
You were
Laughing in the bath
Laughing in the bath

Take a look at this face of mine
Is it cool? Is it crystalline?
Or a pale imitation
A new tessellation
Tell me what you see
Moondog, you're all I need

My mind keeps circling back to you
Just like the universe it begs me to
What frightens me is what frightens you
Oh, babe, what are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?

I'm breaking free with a deeper will
The one I seek is a seeker still
Always reaching
Never teaching
I know nothing who am I to instruct
Moondog, you're outta luck

Sometimes there's magic, sometimes it's hid
Half of magic is just hiding
I always loved you, just didn't know I did
One day I just let the light in
It was a barnburner in Galena, Illinois
Fate hit me like a bolt of lightning

Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
It's my life and I'm living in it

Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
It's my life and I'm living in it

Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
Tired of living in the pouring rain
It's my life and I'm living in it

Sometimes there's magic, sometimes it's hid
Half of magic is just hiding
