lyrics

One day when the doors of perception
were loose on their hinges,
The sky wore a scowl
The moon a sad face
The clouds were unsure
just how to behave
hands waving them away.

The wistful moon
always longing always falling
at last crashed into the pine.

Moon said to the pine,
who she had long admired,
"Dear Pine, Loblolly Pine your needles
full of grace, why I so rudely came,
please let me explain".
"As a little molten child,
I was torn from my mother
torn asunder, flung way out yonder.
I've been falling parallel,
watching from a distance ever since."

"Now that I'm here, near you, near her,
near you, might I rest, roost in your boughs
before I go?"
The Pine in mournful reply cried,
"Dear Moon, I would lovingly cradle your nest,
but in your crashing down,
you've broken all my boughs."

Knowing this,they cried,
they kissed.
