Calling The Moon lyrics

`The moon wanted more of my night
I turned off the engine and the headlights
The trees appeared as they`d never been gone
I promised the fields I`d return from now on
And the moon kept on rising
I had no more to say
I put my roadmaps away
And surrendered the day

And I know you`ll be calling me soon
And if I don`t answer I`m calling the moon
Calling the moon
I was calling her then
I`m wondering will she take me again
Oh, I am calling the moon

When I called the moon back to me
I thought she wanted my beauty
I shone in the best that vanity buys
I covered the path where my life turned to lies
And the moon kept on rising
But I felt nothing at all
She comes when the empire falls
And shines on crumbling walls

Calling the moon
By the name that she chose
As Tennessee wandered in moth-eaten robes
Oh, I am calling the moon
Calling the moon
Oh I`m calling the moon

Oh, make sense of me, night
I can see so much from this cold height
The moon said oh darkness my work is done
I`ve poured this bottle of light from the sun
But their anger keeps on rising
And they don`t understand
I`ve shown them all that I can
That the world is at hand

And I know they`ll be calling me soon
And if I don`t answer I`m only the moon
I can see by her light
This one`s going out to the moon tonight
Oh, I am calling the moon

Calling the moon
`Cause I know what it`s worth
To tug at the seas and illumine the earth
Oh, I am calling the moon
Oh, I am calling the moon `
