Sister Moon - Herbie Hancock

Sister moon will be my guide

In your blue blue shadows I would hide

All good people asleep tonight

I’m all by myself in your silver light

I would gaze at your face the whole night through

I’d go out of my mind, but for you

Lying in a mother’s arms

The primal root of a woman’s charms

I’m a stranger to the sun

My eyes are too weak

How cold is a heart

When it’s warmth that he seeks?

You watch every night, you don’t care what I do

My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun

My hunger for her explains everything I’ve done

To howl at the moon the whole night through

And they really don’t care if I do
