Strawberry Moon

All the lights on the avenue 

Have gone dark, nobody moves 

Nobody hurts, they all just swoon 

For the strawberry moon 

Even the archer’s arrows pause 

The lovers all retract their claws 

I too abandoned the cause 

For the strawberry moon 

Blossom torn away 

Blown across the quay 

Tumbling just for you 

Strawberry moon 

Strawberry moon 

Strawberry moon 

 

Keep the child from waking 

Children are born for forsaking 

Your body ceases aching 

Under the strawberry moon 

Never mind tomorrow 

All the stress and sorrow 

Make your heart as hollow 

As the strawberry moon 

Like a sleeping town 

Just let your guard down 

Hear the silent tune 

Strawberry moon 

Strawberry moon 

Strawberry moon
