Fish Poet's Moon lyrics

You sit there biding your time
Out of your head and into your mind
Penning thoughts
That are dreams in action

A glass raised to an absent muse
A boy stands in his father's shoes
And a drunk man smiles at a thistle
Under a poet's moon

Under a poet's moon, there's a life sign burning
A poet's moon like a vision shining
And the lovers lie in the long grass
Stolen flowers make their bed

Under a poet's moon, there are dreams in action
Prayers met and questions answered
As the world birls in the darkness
I'm still staring at the skies under a poet's moon

A night black as hoodlo's eye
The sparks fly from a tinker's fire
As the stories burn among us
Under a poet's moon

A seed falls onto stony ground
Without a hope and without a sound
From the weeds will grow the flowers
Under a poet's moon

Under a poet's moon, there's a salmon settling
In a guddler's hand that is patient waiting

With a lover's touch, a charm life
His fingers play the reeds

Under a poet's moon, there's a whistle blowing
Out in no mans land
Where a flare is falling in a deadly night
The dreamers stand like flowers in a storm

You sit there biding your time
Out of your head and into your mind
Penning thoughts
That are dreams in action

A cross made in a polling booth
Another flies in a field of blue
And a drunk man smiles at a thistle
Under a poet's moon

Under a poet's moon, there are angels crying
Dead men born and devils laughing
And the dance goes on regardless
Till you're carried from the floor

Under a poet's moon, there are dreams in action
Prayers met and questions answered
As the world birls in the darkness
I'm still staring at the skies
Under a poet's moon
