A Greek myth, rethought.

lyrics

The Moon is Never Too Warm

I had a feather and you had a stone,
A skin of endeavour was strapped to your bones.
Arrogant to place so much faith in your wax,
You said, 'Father, won't you please relax?'

Just this once in your life,
Don't stray out sight.
A journey in the darkness is safer than in light.

Look out your winter clothes: gloves and thick socks -
This plan for a night-flight proceeds when the clocks,
Are back to the start of the numbers again.
Then I realise you've already left.

Just this once in your life,
Don't stray out of sight.
Look out your winter clothes,
We're leaving tonight.
Just this once in your days,
Son, please heed what I say,
You'll end up in a storybook, a song or a play.
Just this once in your life,
Don't stray from my side.
A journey in the darkness is safer than in light.

I was a father and now you are stone.
The heat from your downfall is burning your bones.
To fly in the sunshine is like taunting a storm,
But the moon is never too warm.
But the moon is never too warm.
