Far Above Moon's Ancient Shadow
Far Above Moon's Ancient Shadow
(A Sad Tale of Woe)
Pain, crying pains that ripped glass,
and black clouds waving goodbyes.
Aye, I remember you sweet lass
and that twinkle in your eyes.
Far above moon's ancient shadow
among sad gleams from lost stars.
Frigid cold, filled a soul so shallow
aye lass, your leaving left scars.
Hurt, hurt resting in deepest pits
memories dance out of tune.
Ancient moon, sending me new hits
each year on last day of June!
Far above moon's ancient shadow
among sad gleams from lost stars.
Frigid cold, filled a soul now shallow
aye lass, your leaving left scars.
Time, time utterly fails its course
nights break bones in a flurry.
Ah, but they shoot a dying horse
now, fate's hand does not hurry!
Far above moon's ancient shadow
among sad gleams from lost stars.
Frigid cold, filled a soul now shallow
aye lass, your leaving left scars.
