Goodnight Moon - Lyrics

Starlight, starbright
I wish I may, I wish I might
Free the ancient golden heavens
Locked up inside of me

In the mad days of fright
Machinery of Night
May radiant cool eyes see
Blake-Light Tragedy

And I fly to the Sunshine
In lucid living dreamtime
Your warmth gives me life
As the fireflies close their eyes

So Goodnight Moon
I will see you again
Where the sidewalk ends
And the wild things are friends
Goodnight my sweet Moon
Bells bi-polar expressed
We'll ride dinosaurs soon
Through Jumanji Monsoons

Starlight, starbright
I wish I may I wish I might
Breathe in Neverneverlands
Holding Tigerlily's hand

And the happy thoughts they carry me
Beyond Hooks and Goblin kings
Counting clocks they've lost their minds
Cold and wrinkled bound in time

I climb the magnolia trees
And spy on honeybees
Making love to their dear brides
Pure white flowers southern skies

So Goodnight Moon
I will see you again
Where the sidewalk ends
And the wild things are friends
Goodnight my sweet Moon
Bells bi-polar expressed
We'll ride dinosaurs soon
Through Jumanji Monsoons

Starlight, starbright
I wish I may, I wish I might
Cast cold rings with binding runes
In the fires of Mt. Doom

And a fellowship surrounds me
When I hear your Elven melodies
Harp strings singing easing pain
Dragon's fire now soothed by rain

And I fall down on my knees
Pray for silence and release
Open body feeling deep
Merge in Ocean, love's last leap

So Goodnight Moon
I will see you again
Where the sidewalk ends
And the wild things are friends
Goodnight my sweet Moon
Bells bi-polar expressed
We'll ride dinosaurs soon
Through Jumanji Monsoons

about

Liam Sing Santa Cruz, California

Born and raised in Nashville, TN, spending many years in the Sierras, and dwelling now in the Santa Cruz.

The muses move my instrumentation through the Yuba and the outdoors, and from some of my favs, Nick Drake, Hawaiian slack-key masters, and my good buddies like Taj & Ryan.

My poetry comes from romantics, mystics, modernists, years of refinement, and inspiration.

Enjoy!
