Silver Moon

Written by Si Atherley

A song of loss and bereavement

Don’t take too long

To write your song

We’re sailing soon

Please raise your hand

That waning moon

It’s the saddest moon I know

That fading moon

Means we really

We really

We really have to go

 
 

And as I gaze

Over the silver sea, clouds

Darken over me

And yes I know

I’m both twixt and tween

But I’m evergreen

That yearning moon

Can be a bitter moon, I know

That crying moon

Means we really

We really

We really need to go

 

Don’t take too long

To write our song

We’re sailing soon

Under a bright new moon

That silver moon

It’s the kindest moon I know

And now we’re going home

And we really

We really

We really have to go
