Story behind Moon She Rises

Way back in 1983 I wanted to be Pat Metheny, but with poetry that matched the music. Moon She Rises came out of my fascination with the effect of the moon on us - still able to make the heart thrill even if we've put a little go cart on it. There's magic in that there rock in the sky....

Moon She Rises

You you got a whisper hiding in your eyes
There, there when I look at you I see
Well the moon, She is rising and I feel the light
Rise, rising up in you and me

There's something calling and you, you don't know what it is
But you see it in me

Mama Moon She rises

These days I feel a rhythm in the way things go
Move, moving in everything I know
Like a tide the water is churning in us both tonight
Like a fire, everything near us helps us grow

There's something calling and I,
I don't know what it is
But I see it in you

Mama Moon She rises

With you there's something magic in the way days pass
I feel the seasons they just will not go slow
Time, what does it really matter anyway?
When the tides they tell us all we need to know…

Mama Moon She rises
