The Stargazer

Wandering over to the pond, I sit in wonder by her side
The lily pads gently rolling with the motion of the tide
Pondering my fate, I sit and gaze at the reflection on the water
The myriad of stars dance to form their constellations
Fervent am I that their movements are in relation
Suddenly, a large catlike beast with gills and scales emerges just beyond the great lunar surface
Not one, but three traveling in succession
Vibrating at great speed they drift in a singular direction
My eyes ever weary and world ever so dreary, I make way for my spirit to travel upward
Into the abyss, my astral body onward

The Moon Friend

Weary, tired eyes
Beneath the starry skies
The astronomer comes alive
A vision of the truth
An otherworldly view
My eager mind begins to fly
An encapsulating sound
Lifts my body from the ground
The Moon Friend sheds his light
Crying as I fly
Moon Friend by my side
The Moon Friend
(Moon Friend, Moon Friend)
My tears crystallize
In the frigid spacey skies
But moon friend lights my flight
As I’m flying past
The images moving fast
I see how the world might end
The world will die
While I just fly
But I must
And you must trust
That my flight
Will save your life
Find a way
To bring this planet back to life
I will live on top the moon
Watch my planet see it’s doom
In this crater I reside
My world is ending and I hide
I will live on top the moon
With my Moon Friend
(Moon Friend, Moon Friend)
I will live on top the moon
Watch my planet see it’s doom
In this crater I reside
My world is ending and I hide
I will never come down. I will never come down from the moon, and you can’t convince me to come down from the moon. I will stay in my crater where I reside.

Oh no, the seconds come and go
The end is racing near, but the time is rather slow
On no, looks like our time is near
Yet, all around me, no one lives in fear

When the world goes to sleep at night
I look out to the eastern sky
See the moon up high, with my telescopic eye
All the while, the Moon Friend he smiles
And there he stays until the break of day
And when he falls, I’m the saddest one of all
Yes when he dies falls from the sky, I will surely cry
When the sun drifts below the sky
Let the cosmic wonderland arise
See the curtain fall, with my telescopic eye
When the world reveals what lies behind
The blanket created by our minds
Reveals the truth of our microscopic lives
All the while, the Moon Friend he smiles
And there he stays until the break of day
And when he falls, I’m the saddest one of all
Yes when he dies falls from the sky, I will surely cry
When the darkness overruns the light
The color bleeds away from sight
See the moon arise in the stillness of the night
When the world goes to sleep at night
I look out to the eastern sky
See the moon up high with my telescopic eye
All the while, the Moon Friend he smiles
And there he stays until the break of day
And when he falls, I’m the saddest one of all
Yes when he dies falls from the sky, I will surely cry
Hello Moon Friend, goodbye Moon Friend
Sing your song for me
