Crescent Moon words and music by Bill Pere She felt a chill as he burned with the fever The doctor said there was no cure that he knew of... Just a matter of time before he'd leave her She sat by his side; All she could give him was love She spent another silent night by the side of her sailor He tossed restless as the sea as he hung on by a thread Many times she thought she lost him as she watched him grow paler Still he hung on; She wondered 'bout the dreams in his head... Crescent moon, bright in the night sky The wind whips the waves; He lets go a scream He clings to the rails; He knows to let go is to die This is more than just a dream... Crescent moon, on the horizon Like her smile that makes him feel warm Two bright stars, or is it her eyes With love to guide him through the storm.... Through her vigil every night, she'd recall what would happen As he'd sail far away; the empty feeling that she'd get. Now this tropical fever he'd caught from the captain Was taking him still further yet.... Crescent moon, bright in the night sky The wind whips the waves; He lets go a scream He clings to the rails; He knows to let go is to die This is more than just a dream... Crescent moon, on the horizon Like her smile that makes him feel warm Two bright stars, or is it her eyes With love to guide him through the storm... One stormy night while the thunder was crashing The wind through the window washed the rain across his face He screamed out loud and his body started thrashing She pulled him close to her and wrapped him up safe in her embrace Then his eyes shot open wide and he saw his lady smiling He said "Last thing I remember...." and the tears rolled down his neck; "I was seeing sky all full of storm clouds, the moon was up there shining I was falling from the rail; Someone reached out and pulled me back on deck There was a.... Crescent moon on the horizon; The wind whipped the waves, I let go a scream. I clung to the rail, I knew to let go was to die; It was more than just a dream Crescent moon on the horizon, Like your smile, that makes me feel warm; Two bright stars, or is it your eyes With love to guide me through the storm... © Copyright Bill Pere, MysticMusic/KidThink Music All Rights Reserved |
