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
