Ralph McTell - Lunar Lullaby lyrics

rate me

Thousands of miles without moving

In the silence and stillness we're turning

Who scattered the stars in the field of night?

Say it's all right, say it's all right,

Well say it's all right.

Ocean storm-thrown boats collide

With waves of no direction

With compass set up on a star

Head for the port's protection.

Faster than light we're not ageing,

So where does the time go we're saving?

Give me a sermon for sleep tonight

Won't you say it's all right, say it's all right,

Well say it's all right.

And the driftwood it collides

With blind boats on the water

Oh, sad I watched the moon fall down,

But the river safely caught her.

Confusion of stars where's the pattern

To chart us away from collision?

We are dust, we are spark, we were light before dark

It was all right, it is all right,

And it'll be all right.

Above, below, worlds collide

In the before and after

Oh happy to watch the sun go down

And join the angels' laughter.
