about

Isnt the moon amazing - written after seeing the moon rising up from the Cowgate in Edinburgh.

lyrics

Its a calm night, a cool night
all the birds they take flight, to the red sky
they circle round in thermals
they leave without a goodbye

and we'll go to the cliff tops
and we'll watch, we'll watch the sun drop
and we'll pray til the next day
til the moon comes out to play

Chorus
A neap tide with a new moon
when the birds fly and they swoop down on sand dunes
a spring tide in the winter
when the waves crash high over you
My New Moon! Full Moon!

She rises like the Sun, fat and full
never too bright or too dull
she takes her place up high behind the herringbone sky
and illuminates the clouds with her silver tie dye

Chorus

Well we're the silhouettes of natural minarets
we stand five miles high
are calls to prayer and answered, singing to the sky

and we'll go to the cliff tops
and we'll watch, we'll watch the sun drop
and we'll pray til the next day
til the moon comes out to play
