Wake Up Sleepy Moon

Wake up sleepy moon,
Get up!
Let's go for a walk.
The night lights are all awake and alive
Calling us out to the cool grass, cool breeze,
The quiet sighs of nighttime trees
Let's climb up to get a closer look at the stars
Let's hold our breath,
Count railroad cars,
And make our plans.

Where are you going big black hulks,
Will you take us with you?
To Topeka, Tulsa, Timbuktu, or Veracruz?
Not tonight, but our dreams will let us fly.

Wake up sleepy moon, Get up!
The rivers miss your face;
They look so sad and slow,
Like the life has left this place.
The crickets hum, their bows all taut;
The storms are still far off;
The flashing night is beautiful.

Where are you going winding cars,
Will you take us with you?
To Forest Hill or Auburn, somewhere far?
Well at least take a piece of our hearts.

Wake up sleepy moon get up!
There's a whole bed of clouds for you to rest on
If you're still tired.
The whole valley's waiting
For your second light.
We've a thousand places to
Explore, the hills and the trees
Look better with your cool glow.

Where are you going, shooting stars?
Polaris, horizons, some far off quasar?
Will you take us with you?
Or at least take a piece of our hopes.

It may be night for now you know,
But these hills have got a night-time glow.
For sure it's dark and nothing's safe,
Stay by my side, c'mon let's race,
Wake that old bald head with our pounding feet.
And the harmony of heartbeats.
The harmony of heartbeats.
