The Moon and the Morning Star

Who would've thought that evening would be first
To arrive and say:
"I got here first before the dawn
And long before the day"

So love could float her rosy little boat
And the moon and the morning star
Could be such good friends

My love and I, we need your love
Like children craving laughter

So love could float her rosy little boat
And the moon and the morning star
Could be such good friends

And sorrow's child looked up and smiled
And the moon and the morning star
Were such good friends

I asked the evening where our hearts have gone
Do they sleep like sad old men?
Or do they hide like stars in the day?
Do they wake like trees for rain?

So love could float her rosy little boat
And the moon and the morning star
Could be such good friends

My love and I, we need your love
Like children craving laughter

So love could float her rosy little boat
And the moon and the morning star
Were such good friends
And sorrow's child looked up and smiled
And the moon and the morning star
Were such good friends
