lyrics

Hard to say just where today the Watcher hides,
leaves without a trail or trace
or understand the hanging hand behind the pull you
feel
on
the way you color certain space.

Have you seen the streets, serene before the morning
drops
down
shards of glass and strands of light?
Take the time to read the sign that's written on the
west
wall;
still does hollow sing the night?

"Stars sigh
for the hope that's hiding,
cloaked in grey noon;
so why
does the light, inviting,
leave so soon?",
sang the Monkey to the Moon.

Firm or frail, the seraph sails through faery tales,
never a care for where or how.
Reason rides the narrow tides on shallow sides of
dark
dreams,
wondering where she wanders now

And I look upon these strands of dawn that fall down on my
wood
floor
and beg the shadow not to stay.
Bright to blue, the evening's hue comes into view and
drops
down;
soon the answers dance away.

"Stars sigh
for the hope that's hiding,
cloaked in grey noon;
so why does the light, inviting,
leave so soon?"
Sang the monkey to the Moon.

Sang the Monkey to the Moon.
