Mad Man Moon lyrics

2a
Was it summer when the river ran dry,

20
Or was it just another dam.

29
When the evil of a snowflake in june

27
Could still be a source of relief.

2d
O how i love you, i once cried long ago,

29
But i was the one who decided to go.

26
To search beyond the final crest,

3d
Though i'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high.

5

2d
So i pretended to have wings for my arms

1d
And took off in the air.

31
I flew to places which the clouds never see,

26
Too close to the deserts of sand,

34
Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies

2b
Forced me to land and take a disguise.

33
I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back

2e
If i could find a horse not made of sand.

5

2a
If this desert's all there'll ever be

25
Then tell me what becomes of me.

14
A fall of rain?

30
That must have been another of your dreams,

1d
A dream of mad man moon.

5

d
Hey man,

16
I'm the sand man.

21
And boy have i news for you;

24
They're gonna throw you in gaol

21
And you know they can't fail

25
'cos sand is thicker than blood.

19
But a prison in sand

18
Is a haven in hell,

23
For a gaol can give you a goal

25
[and a] goal can find you a role

23
On a muddy pitch in newcastle,

1b
Where it rains so much

1f
You can't wait for a touch

25
Of sun and sand, sun and sand...

5

2a
Within the valley of shadowless death

2a
They pray for thunderclouds and rain,

2f
But to the multitude who stand in the rain

24
Heaven is where the sun shines.

3b
The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown

42
And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down.

34
Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn

1b
To disbelieve the sea.

5

2a
If this desert's all there'll ever be

25
Then tell me what becomes of me.

14
A fall of rain?

30
That must have been another of your dreams,

1d
A dream of mad man moon.
