The Sun and the Moon Lyrics

With the sun on my right side
And the moon in my breast
I've been taking my pennies
From the rich and the blessed
And they expect all their soldiers
To parade what they've won
Then to march back to heaven
Or where ever they come from

If I ever live alone again
I would live in the pines
For I'd remember the future
And I'd leave it behind
And in the new fallen snow I
Make angels in men
To create a snowheaven
And believe in it again

And oh every moment isn't clear,
Sometimes I feel I've been there before
And oh how some moments grow into patterns
And puzzles and lifestyles and schemes
With so little difference in nightmares and dreams
And oh how some moments glow

With the sun in my eyes
And the moon in the rest
Let the northern star guide me
To the place I love best
Where I'll put on my old coat
And I button my eyes
And I'll weave my reflection
In the tears that I've cried.

Ain't got no home in this world anymore
Ain't got no home in this world anymore
Farewell sorrow, praise god the open door
Ain't got no home in this world anymore
