“Moon and Moon” is the third track of Bat for Lashes' Two Suns. It was written when Natasha was finishing up her first record, Fur & Gold. The song was named after her ex-boyfriend’s band.
In an interview with Radio X, Natasha stated:
It was a ballad I wrote which I called it ‘my wolf howling...
[Verse 1]
Lover, when you don't lay with me
I'm a huntress for a husband lost at sea

And I won't see you no more
[Verse 2]

It'll track me to your door (shoot that, shoot that, shoot that)
And I won't see you no more (shoot that, shoot that, shoot that)
I won't see you no more
