Jake Heggie - White in the Moon
11
Copied!
White in the moon the long road lies
The moon stands blank above;
White in the moon the long road lies
That leads me from my love
Still hangs the hedge without a gust
Still, still the shadows stay:
My feet upon the moonlit dust
Pursue the ceaseless way
The world is round, so travellers tell
And straight though reach the track
Trudge on, trudge on, 'twill all be well
The way will guide one back
But ere the circle homeward hies
Far, far must it remove:
White in the moon the long road lies
That leads me from my love
The moon stands blank above;
White in the moon the long road lies
That leads me from my love
Still hangs the hedge without a gust
Still, still the shadows stay:
My feet upon the moonlit dust
Pursue the ceaseless way
The world is round, so travellers tell
And straight though reach the track
Trudge on, trudge on, 'twill all be well
The way will guide one back
But ere the circle homeward hies
Far, far must it remove:
White in the moon the long road lies
That leads me from my love
