The New Moon
Day you have bruised and beaten me
As rain beats down, beats down the bright, proud sea
Beaten my body, bruised my soul
Left me nothing, nothing lovely or whole
Yet I have wrested a gift from you
Day that dies, that dies in dusky blue
For suddenly, suddenly over the factories
I saw a moon, I saw a moon
A moon in the cloudy seas
A wisp of beauty all alone
In a world as hard and gray as stone
In a world as hard and gray as stone
Oh, who could be bitter? (Oh, who could be bitter?)
Oh, who could be bitter (oh, who could be bitter) and want to die
When a maiden moon, a maiden moon wakes up in the sky?
Day you have bruised and beaten me
As rain beats down, beats down the bright, proud sea
Beaten my body, bruised my soul
Left me nothing lovely or whole
Yet I have wrested a gift from you
A day that dies
Come in the morning, in dusky blue
As rain beats down, beats down the bright, proud sea
Beaten my body, bruised my soul
Left me nothing, nothing lovely or whole
Yet I have wrested a gift from you
Day that dies, that dies in dusky blue
For suddenly, suddenly over the factories
I saw a moon, I saw a moon
A moon in the cloudy seas
A wisp of beauty all alone
In a world as hard and gray as stone
In a world as hard and gray as stone
Oh, who could be bitter? (Oh, who could be bitter?)
Oh, who could be bitter (oh, who could be bitter) and want to die
When a maiden moon, a maiden moon wakes up in the sky?
Day you have bruised and beaten me
As rain beats down, beats down the bright, proud sea
Beaten my body, bruised my soul
Left me nothing lovely or whole
Yet I have wrested a gift from you
A day that dies
Come in the morning, in dusky blue
