Crescent Moon Lyrics - Pale Sun, Crescent Moon - Cowboy Junkies

Reach a hand to the crescent moon 

grab hold of the hollow 

If she sits in the palm of the left 

that moon will be fuller tomorrow 

If she sits in the palm of the right 

that moon is on the wane 

and the love of the one who shares your bed 

will be doing just the same 

'Won't you come with me', she said, 

'there's plenty of room in my iron bed 

You're looking cold and tired 

and more than a little human 

I know I'm not part of the life you had planned, 

but I think once your body feels my hand 

your mind will change 

and your heart will lose its pain'

Out among the fields gently hipped 

beneath the corn, 

Assiniboine bones beneath the highway 

he stood there and he thought of home 

A finger traces the path of a satellite 

You're drawn to a distant copse of trees 

A voice as sweet as Mare's Tail 

clings to the prairie breeze 

'Won't you come with me', she said, 

'there's plenty of room in my iron bed 

You're looking cold and tired 

and more than a little human 

I know I'm not part of the life you had planned, 

but I think once your body feels my hand 

your mind will change 

and your heart will lose its pain'

Do I reach for you 

when I know you're on the wane? 

Do I sense you when I know you're not around? 

Do I search for you 

when I know you can't be found? 

Do I dare to speak your name? 

Raise your eyes to a moonless sky 

and try to wish upon a rising star 

Search all you want for her blessing 

but you won't find her sparkling there 

Now cast your eyes to a part of the sky 

where nothing but darkness unfolds 

and watch as all around you 

she reveals the brilliance of secrets untold 

Won't you come with me, she said, 

there's plenty of room in my iron bed 

You're looking cold and tired 

and more than a little human 

I know I'm not part of the life you had planned, 

but I think once your body feels my hand 

your mind will change 

and your heart will lose its pain
