Buck Moon

Tonight a cloudy fist has cut the silence with a knife
The grasses undulating as the wind whips them to life
Endlessly aware of every moment passing by
A patch of stars is freckling the sky while
A philosophy is teeming in between our teeth and tongues
The universe distilled into the air within our lungs
You radiate a signature, unfurling like a bud
With a thousand and one creatures buzzing for your blood
Under the buck moon

Under the buck moon
Under the buck moon
In the sodden grass, we are standing side by side
If we don't touch soon, I will surely shrivel up and die
Just a lonely little mote to float across the sky

We're talking and the night air is vibrating in our wake
We settle in like sediment at the bottom of the lake
Unfathomably massive things to do before we're done
We scheme, but we've not tried a single one
And I am seized by the starkness of the lines that have been drawn
Not that you won't love me, but that one day you'll be gone
And the bits of us that resonate may never recognize
Each other in the aeons marching by
Under the buck moon

Under the buck moon
Under the buck moon
In the sodden grass, we are sitting side by side
If we don't touch soon, I will surely shrivel up and die
Only a lonely little mote to float across the sky

Ooh, your imprint is upon me
Ooh, and one day you're to be wrenched from me
The magnitude of that sad news I cannot realize
While I'm the pillars of creation through the lenses in your eyes
And ooh, you are so dear to me
And if one day the cosmic dust must stir and make a new me
Whatever starful filaments we disintegrate into
Know that if you reach for me, then I will reach for you

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da

But for now infinity is this small space I cannot breach
And you might as well be a hundred thousand miles beyond my reach
If it all goes supernova and existence is to cease
My particles will never rest in peace
I'll snag the fabric of the universe seeking your heat
Seeking your heat, and at least
If it all goes supernova and my existence ceases
You'll find me up among the stars all mixed up in your pieces
Hoo ooh ooh

Under the buck moon
Under the buck moon
In the soggy grass
With your body smashed all into mine
And we all search as we float even if we don't know why
Our eternal little dance is written in the sky
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
