Lyrics
Drawing Down the Moon
Gaia softly turning – Luna never sleeping
Mama Moonlight heavy with a belly of dreams that’s almost foaling
Night bloom take me under – Night skin taste of wonder
Night kiss stir the hunger, lapping the dark with tongues of silver
So much time we circle the sky with one wing beating
Looking for a light that’s true
All our lives we chase the night like it’s never ending
You the Sun and I the moon
Raise your chalice higher – Push my blade in deeper
Sweet your tongue on mine like the fruit of a tree that’s always blooming
Huntress bring us visions – Cleansing fire within us
Stoke the pounding dark with the fire of stars all cast in shadow
So much time we circle the sky with one wing beating
Looking for a light that’s true
All our lives we chase the night like it’s never ending
You the Sun and I the moon
Once in the month in a place made secret
Better for us all if the moon is full
Naked in the rites to show our freedom
Free is the love that we offer too
Ours is the ecstasy of being
Walking in the beauty of the great green Earth
Ours is the touching of the mystery
Ours the experience of death and birth
Ours is the liberating voice of nature
Knowing that there isn’t any more than this
Ours the ritual of love and pleasure
Ours the delivery of the five fold kiss
Drawing down the moon. Drawing down the moon.
Drawing down the moon. Drawing down the moon.
All our life we circle the sky with one wing beating
Looking for a light that’s true
All our lives we chase the night like it’s never ending
You the Sun and I the moon
