lyrics

My lover lives upon the moon

She bares her cheek to me at noon
Unseen she rises at dawn

But at midnight she's in silver from her breasts down to her toes
My lover lives upon the moon

And I know that I'll see her soon

My lover lives up in a tree
Washes her cheek with the cold sea
She works with needle and thread
Knitting new hands in the springtime for the cedar and the oaks
My lover lives up in a tree
And I know that she'll save room for me

My lover lives upon the ground
She keeps her cheek cool and brown
These days she takes in the rain
But come summer she'll be dancing with her finery in rows
My lover lives upon the ground

And I know that she'll grow me a crown

My lover lives inside my heart
Gifted her cheek right from the start
She smoothes my skin with her hands

And it fills me up with lightness from my fingers to my nose
My lover lives inside my heart
And in hers she has given a part
