about

Astral observations with a two year old named Cooper.

lyrics

Twilight hung low
burned it out slow
Love lit two candles and swam in the shallows
and you learned the name of the moon

The law of the land
Give me a damn
smoothed out the angles,
the fools and the scoundrels,
you learned the name of the moon

The River in Love
phases and floods
Pentecost, pay the boss,
five part, seven bight knot,
you learned the name of the moon

Lay it all out
shadows and doubts
Love like a Rubicon,
Which side have you been on,
you learned the name of the moon

Goodnight Irene
Goodnight, Irene
love like a metaphor,
love when there’s nothin more
you know the name of the moon
