The Moon is Gone

by Ernest Saint Laurent




One is for the money that got me into trouble
Two's for the worry, that made me worry double
See, four's for the story that made me who I am
Skip the three and skip the five, skip it all
See six is for Harry, who caught me when I fell
From seven little steps, I should have never taken
When eight little birds went swirling 'round my head
And nine little devils took me right to hell

The moon is gone, it's dark
The sun if full of spark
A bit of tonal crack
The melody's come back
I found a paper ship
With all my thoughts in it
I'll send it to the seas
I'll send it to the seas

One is for the money that got me into trouble
Two's for the worry, that made me worry double
Four's for the story that made me who I am
Skip the three, skip the five
What is six for again?
Six is for Harry, who caught me when I fell
From seven little steps, I should have never taken
Then eight little birds went swirling 'round my head
And nine little devils took me right to hell

The moon is gone, it's dark
The sun if full of spark
A bit of tonal crack
The melody's come back
I found a paper ship
With all my thoughts in it
I'll send it to the seas
I'll send it to the seas

The moon is gone, it's dark
The sun if full of spark
A bit of tonal crack
The melody's come back
I found a paper ship
With all my thoughts in it
I'll send it to the seas
I'll send it to the seas

Faster
One is for the money that got me into trouble
Two's for the worry, that made me worry double
And four's for the story that made me who I am
Skip the three and skip the five
What is six for?
(I'll tell you)
Six is for Harry, who caught me when I fell
From seven little steps, I should have never taken
When eight little birds went swirling 'round my head
And nine little devils took me right back to hell

One, one, one....

The moon is gone, it's dark
The sun if full of spark
A bit of tonal crack
The melody's come back
I found a paper ship
With all my thoughts in it
I'll send it to the seas
I'll send it to the seas

The moon is gone, it's dark
The sun if full of spark
A bit of tonal crack
The melody's come back
I found a paper ship
Put all my thoughts in it
I'll send it to the seas
I'll send it to the seas

To the sea, I'll send it to the sea
I'll send it to the seas...
