lyrics

everything's gone quiet
the stars are out to play
& the hangnail moon sliply quicks away
you are in my thoughts, dear
as I hum a lullaby
I'd die to lure you near here
I know I'm wrong to try

& I hate to see the little moon go down
it only serves to render dark this town
where only villains love a town that's bound
& determined to undermine you gown

several snakes are hissing
around me as I pray
that dear lord baby Jesus bequeath me some sun rays
I know my days are numbered
Jesus, too, knew he would die
so lean not into your own, dear,
understanding, underlie

& I hate to see the little moon go down
it only serves to render dark this town
where only villains love a town that's bound
& determined to undermine you gown

the left hand strikes the right one
as I come upon the hay
so sound the horn of plenty, so sink back into clay
I wish our sides were touching
just like sea touches like sky
but alone I go out rowing
your love was a loose lie

now I love to see the big ol' sun come up
it serves me best, it overfills my cup
& only villains love a town that's down
& never likely to wake up
