Lyrics: Sugar From the Moon

Sugar From the Moon

Pull down the apples from the trees
Make plans against the winter's freeze
Sew up your heartstrings at the seams
And sing your memories to dreams

Give up the winter to the frost
These dreams are ever worth the cost
The autumn leaves will fade too soon
Call snow like sugar from the moon

The sweetest story never told
Slips through the eaves and leaves the cold
What never happened speaks to you
And steers your course away from true

Give up the river to the stream
These dreams are smaller than they seem
A sailor's sunset bleeds maroon
And foretells sugar from the moon

And apples scent our autumn hands
We make the choices life demands
We know the dance but not the tune
Our dreams lift in us like balloons

Give up your fear to embrace love
These dreams are what the world's made of
I'll gather snowflakes with a spoon
And spin you sugar from the moon

I'll gather snowflakes with a spoon
And spin you sugar from the moon
We shine like sugar from the moon
I've tasted sugar from the moon
You taste like sugar from the moon

Notes: I've been thinking a lot lately about how love has no beginning and no end. Finished 10/27/03
