Song Of A Moonday Child Called
(Or, Is Faire If Is)
a fair etail by a Faust
Alone
We must dream as we're waiting
Alone
But we live as we're dreaming
Alone
All one day after living
Alone
Do we live as we dream
Child of the Night,
Daughter of the Moon,
Wandering all alone,
Growing up too soon
She learns how to feel, how spaces exquisite unfold
Just between your eyes, or down around your heart,
Catches when too shallow breathing is caught up in your throat
Half-lost she listens for where thunder's expected
She fast hears that all-zu-menschliches rhythm detected
But transposed strangely has stranger & stranger become
It makes her own heart beat colder
Alone
She once left to be leaving
Alone
She has been into being
Alone
She is seen to be seeming
Alone
(Iamoknowhereshow)
& so by this Imagination, measure well
(Iamoknowhereshow)
By how much it echoes fainter
(Iamoknowhereshow)
By that much feel it stronger
(Iamoknowhereshow)
Should she rest for a while
(Iamoknowhereshow)
At the side in your heat
(Iamoknowhereshow)
Could confessions beguile
(Iamoknowhereshow)
(held fast she'll confide,
(Iamoknowhereshow)
Let loose she'll retreat)
(Iamoknowhereshow)
Child of the Night,
Daughter of the Moon,
Wandering all alone,
Growing up too soon
(Iamoknowhereshow)
Because your world is round,
(Iamoknowhereshow)
or still, it notices
(Iamoknowhereshow)
her turning & returning
(Iamoknowhereshow)
advises her vices
(Iamoknowhereshow)
Tossed before them, hurled,
(Iamoknowhereshow)
it will have her
(Iamoknowhereshow)
Perhaps conceal
(Iamoknowhereshow)
but what concerns her
Sometimes return
but what reveals her
Alone
She once left to be leaving
Alone
She has been into being
Alone
She is seen to be seeming
Alone
Child of the Night,
Daughter of the Moon,
Wandering all alone,
Growing up too soon
Alone
We must dream as we're waiting
Alone
But we live as we're dreaming
Alone
All one day after living
Alone
Do we live as we dream
Do we live as we dream
Do we live as we dream
Alone
