Crimson Moon Lyrics - Bert Jansch

Crimson moon, in the early morning 

Blue black sky, tell me why? 

If she loves me 

My baby drives me wild 

Like a little child 

She's standing on the edge, she wants to learn to swim 

She looks in the water but she won't dive in 

Crimson moon, tell me why? 

She's like a new spring flower 

Come out to play, in a gray day in autumn 

She brightens up the day 

But does she know that winter's coming? 

Jack Frost in on his way 

You've got to hide little girl from his icy stare 

Run back to the sunshine, he won't catch you there 

Run little girl run 

Crimson moon, In the early morning 

Blue black sky, tell her I love her 

She will listen to you 

Tell her she can hear the heartbeat of a dragonfly 

In full flight 

Taste the spring water of a mountain stream 

And feel the burning kiss of a lover's dream 

Tell her I love her, she will listen to you 

Tell her I love her, she will know that it's true
