Athena and the Moon

And so Athena
Went out looking for the moon
But it was hiding away
Wouldn't come out to play
I said Athena
You're gonna find it right soon
Don't you worry your mind
Won't be long till we find
Athena and the moon
You will find it soon
Lighting up the night like the sun at high noon
And so Athena
Saw the moon in everything
In the stones on the path
In the hairs in the bath
And Athena
Each and every evening
She'd look out to the lawn
But the moon it was gone
Said Athena to the moon
Won't you come back soon
Lighting up the night like the sun at high noon
I said Athena
You know the moon changes every night
So if you're day isn't bright
Still might turn out all right
And Athena
It travels round the world in its flight
Yeah it leaves and returns
Like the seasons and ferns
It slips behind a cloud
And hides beside a tree
Here and there
Steady in inconstancy
And then one midday
We were walking down the road to the swing
But we were lost in our feet
Taking care what they'd meet
On her insisting
We looked up and saw the real thing
There it was way up high
The only one in the sky
Athena found the moon
In the afternoon
Who'd have thought that it'd be back so soon?
Morning night and noon
Athena and the moon
Together now though it will leave again soon
Athena and the moon
You will find it soon
Lighting up the night like the sun at high noon
Athena and the moon
Never fear but soon
You will find
O darling mine
Right where you stand
Athena and the moon

Shenandoah Valley
03:57

The sun comes up
On the Shenandoah Valley
A steaming cup
Of coffee’s lying next to me
In my arms
All the charms
Of the woman that I married
And the sun shines down on me
The mountains sing
And it’s a song about a family
Birds take wing
And they float along so merrily
No alarms
Just your charms
And the sun
How it warms
From so far away
So far away from it all
Do you know how the sun can
Make a shadow
On the evening side of the hill?
Up above in the mountains
The stillness and quiet
The living inside it
The meadow-bird’s trill
Take a pause
Looking down on the valley
There’s no clause
That says we couldn’t stay
Take your time
Think it through
Rest your mind
I’m thinking too
A life so far away
So far away from it all
Do you know how the sun can
Spread a blanket
On the morning side of the hill?
The valley at morning
All spread out before me
We watch it slowly fill

Heaven Help Me
04:23

I've got these cuts on my hands
But they still seem so lily white
And I can make these demands
But they've never been lifted in a fight
No I don't think I've done it right
I haven't really lived at all
I've got these scars on my heart
But it still seems to beat so slow
And the fairies who used to dance out my window
They don't come around no more
Oh where oh where did they go?
There's just the ghost of a thousand words I might have said
And the books I've read
Maybe better left unread
No I haven't really lived at all
Heaven help me
And heaven help you
Let this one be
The one that breaks through
Yes the one that finally breaks through to you
I thought that I could build a house
But that deck of cards was missing its king
I thought that I could make some art
But no one really seemed to be listening
No I don't think I've done it right at all
If it wasn't for you
A heart that points as true as a compass
In a deep dark wood
I think that I've misunderstood
And I'll try to do better
For the things that could still come
And these hands
They've give
Another strum
Heaven help me
And heaven help you
Let this one be
The one that breaks through
Yes the one that finally breaks through to you
