Mother Moon Lyrics

When I was a little one I would stay by your side
Walking in your shadow close behind

And you would tell me all about the mystery
You said you'd always be shining in that sky

Mother moon do you see the sky is changing
Getting brighter all the time
And I wish that we could stay this way
But I'm bound for the sunrise

And I've been changing faster than I can see
I don't even know me sometimes
And it's not easy growing out of small things
Spreading those big wings and taking flight

And what I was is behind me
And what I will be is moving on
So that leaves a little space to look at the moon's face
Before the day breaks and she is gone

Mother moon do you see the sky is changing
Getting brighter all the time
And I wish that we could stay this way
But I'm bound for the sunrise
