Astounding Moon - Tim Finn

A boy was looking at the sky

His telescope and eager eyes were fitted on the distance

He thought nothing else could come between

His life was full and evergreen

And gone in an instant

The moon was waiting for someone

To come along and waste some time

Waste some precious time

It was over all too soon

Astounding moon

Solemn and pale

Astounding moon

There hangs a tale

A fool is never alone

Astounding moon

She’ll eat you out of house and home

Then leave you feeling more alone

As if it never happened

But winter skies are clear and bright

The stars as close as satellites

Or a drinking glass that’s shattered

The moon is waiting for someone

To come along and waste some time

Take some precious time

It’ll all be over soon

Astounding moon

Solemn and pale

Astounding moon

There hangs a tale

A fool is never alone

Astounding moon

Putting me in touch with myself

You know me so well

Astounding moon
