Lyrics

O moon queen of night on earth
Silent compassion
Silent companion
May there be no lights competing
With your moonlight anymore

O moon o moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tide
May there be more silent moonlight
Even starlight
Like before

O moon queen of night on earth
May there be more silent moonlight
Even star light
Like before

Lyrics

[??? I need you, I want to, let's say we got this plaza or something
That's kind of ???
I wanna go back
I wanna go back to where the moon was the queen of night
???
??? City lights
Just the moon ???
And it was enough
You could stare at it
???
You could think different thoughts
Just like a fire, when you're around a fire
You notice the conversation is different
???
And the moon in the same way inspires something
Inspires you to ???]

O moon

O moon queen of night on earth
Silent companion
With a blue light
May there be no lights competing
With your moonlight
Anymore

O moon o moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tide
May there be more silent moonlight
Even starlight
Like before

O moon o moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tide
May there be more silent moonlight
Even starlight
Like before

Lyrics

O moon queen of night on earth
We're in the city now
And we appreciate it for its personal virtues
It tries to communicate so close to each other
But then
Do we not long for the time when the moon was the
Unchallenged queen of the night without lights
It was the only real light of importance
We saw

O moon queen of night on earth

O moon queen of night on the earth
Silent companion
With cold light
May there be no lights competing
With your moonlight anymore

O moon o moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tide
May there be more silent moonlight
Even starlight
Like before

O moon o moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tide
May there be more silent moonlight
Even starlight
Like before

[Tommy, take it somewhere else]

O moon o moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tide
May there be more silent moonlight
Even starlight
Like before

[The legendary starlight
Seldom comes because of the city competition
With electric light
???
Very subtle]

Lyrics

O moon queen of night on earth

O moon queen of night on the earth
An ancient companion
With cold light
May there be more silent moonlight

O moon queen of night on the earth
Ancient companion
With cold light
May there be no lights competing
With your moonlight anymore

O moon o moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tide
May there be more silent moonlight
Even starlight
Like before

O moon
O moon queen of night on the earth
Ancient companion
With cold light
May there be no lights competing
With your moonlight anymore

O moon o moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tide
May there be more silent moonlight
Even starlight
[We've only heard about starlight mostly
I spoke to some people on this tour,
We've been to, we've been up to Saskatoon in Canada
We went up to other places in Manitoba in the woods between them
And some people up in northern Maine
And we asked them
Ok, is there enough
Are you far enough away from town that you can actually see the starlight?
And they said "yeah" they said "yeah"]

Lyrics

O moon queen of night on earth
Ancient companion
With your pale light

O moon
Star
Only ??? [[off mic]]

Long we've enjoyed you
Queen of night on the earth
Ancient companion
With your pale light
With your pale light

May there be less of our lights
Competing with your moonlight from now on

O moon o moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tides
May there be more silent moonlight
Even starlight
Like before

Moon, queen of night
Queen of night
Queen of night

O moon
O moon
Queen of night
Ruler of the tide
May there be more silent moonlight
Like there was before
Maybe we'd feel starlight again

[[Off mic again]]

Like before
