The Moonking

This book of dreams
On the shelf lay between
All the secrets you found out
So clever
So close your eyes
It remains to be seen
All the riches you can count
Forever
Thru' heaven's gate
You run before it gets too late
Into the celtic twilight
So pay the price
'cause he won't ever ask you twice
The bells ring out at midnight
The moonking is waitin' again
And maybe he'll welcome you in
To ride on a warm solar wind
Back where your dreams can begin
The moonking is callin' again
But never a sound to be heard
So up thru' a bright silver sky
Waitin' but never deterred
The longest sleep
Like a black dog at your feet
And the daytime will recede
So coldly
So jump in deep
There's no time to retreat
It's everythin' you need
Go slowly
The dead of night
You're sayin' words you can't recite
A sea of noise so empty
Get on your way
There's no excuse for the delay
Before it's just a memory
The moonking is waitin' again
And maybe he'll welcome you in
To ride on a warm solar wind
Back where your dreams can begin
The moonking is callin' again
But never a sound to be heard
So up thru' a bright silver sky
Waitin' but never deterred
