The Southern Moon Lyrics – The Waterboys
Singer: The Waterboys
Title: The Southern Moon
The southern moon was glancing
And the watchman was reclining
On his [west-thrown?] bed of ease
A horse flew out, its rider gaunt
And his armor, it was shining
Through his pale embroidered sleeves
The watchman twisted as he dozed
I could hear his keys a’jangle
In his pocket, held by string
He was handsome in the pose
Illumined by his candles
Like a statue of a king
The night, my dear, was cool and clear
I lay awake, too wide awake to sleep
The fall of music on the breeze
A faint and tiny winding of wild Aeolian spells
That slipped and shimmered through the trees
Sometimes shrinking to a minute
At others bold as bell
The night, my child, was old and wild
I lay awake, too wide awake to sleep
The southern moon fell from the sky
The candles sparked and guttered
The scene grew cold and black
The watchman slurred a lullaby
Then in his sleep he muttered
“Daisy [Buchan?], please come by”
The night, no peep, was long and deep
I lay awake, too wide awake to sleep
