lyrics

On an evening the moon was like bread
We promised each other our hearts to own
Our love was a garden to wander and tread
Oh when the moon was like bread

In the morning the sun was a song
We swayed to the rhythm of silent wind
Our bodies were radiant as we walked along
Oh when the sun was a song

By mid-day the ground sprung into life
We feasted on fruit by the river side
Your voice was like honey, your lips were like wine
Fragrant and sweet upon mine

And I held you as light became shade
We watched as the clouds veiled the open sky
The sun beams shone through until all became grey
Oh how we danced in the rain

Crack of thunder and light shook the ground
We held on as wind tore the trees apart
I searched for my voice in the chaos and sound
I felt my words as they drowned

Then a gust of wind stole you from me
The cry of your voice echoed in the air
I searched for your body through brush and debris
Oh my God how could this be

In the evening the moon became blood
I found you down by the river side
Your body, a scar in the soil and mud
Oh when the moon became blood

From the light of the blood moon above
I saw the wasteland before my eyes
The fruitful abundance, the song of the sun
Gone with the breath of my love
