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
