Fall in, Lovers

Fall In, Lovers
Infantry and Light Brigade
Under Starlight shimmering madly
Fall in, Lovers, Spring and Summer
Fall in, Lovers, Spring and Summer

Hunter, raise your lantern
Spin shadows through the trees
There's a steamtrain coming down the Mountain
Pulling the Moon up behind it
Pulling the Moon up behind it

Cherub, nock your arrow
Let fly your whole arsenal
May the lucky hide in invulnerable shelters
While the Lonely lie mortally wounded
While the Lonely lie mortally struck

Help me to remember my name
Blow it softly through the pines
Where the Moon shines, and I
Though I walk through the valley
In the shadow of Death, I will fear
I will fear, I will fear no EviL
Just a Pilgrim many miles from your door

Fall In, Lovers
On my mark: We take the playground by the brook
Hold on tightly: Mary-Go-Round
In this white snowcovered Wasteland
In this Wide White Mile

Mary, quite contrary
To what you've been told
We're not punished for loving one another
(Though we're fragile)
In the Morning dreams become Starlight
In the Garden's perpetual twilight

Have we come at last to the shores
Of California? Where West looks on East
And the Sun neither Sets nor rises
Under cloak of day Sofia! hunts her mate
Night is her embrace and our Eyes
Grow heavy
Heavy! Heavy!
