Greg Brown - Milk of the moon

Tekst :

Morning is a siren, evening is a bust
Memories fade, pocketful of dust
I moan to you like a mourning dove
Mistakes are made along with love
On the day you opened up the door
I saw the future slip away, time is just a whore
If you can get any closer, oh please do
I can only dance when I dance with you

I m drunk on moonmilk, I m high up in the air
I know a woman she is silk there and there and there
With a kiss she wakes me up, she always leaves too soon
As she does she fills my cup with the milk of the moon

Open up the window, smell the rain
I kiss the pillow where your head has lain
Open up your wild and secret heart
And your flower, the tenderest part
I don t know when we ll meet again
Now will have to do til then
In a bed hot and wet like tears
We slept one night for years and years and years

I m drunk on moonmilk, I m high up in the air
I know a woman she is silk there and there and there
With a kiss she wakes me up, she always leaves too soon
As she does she fills my cup with the milk of the moon

Your gifts I ll cherish and I ll save
The look I see upon your face is the only thing I crave
When you re gone I ll try to get some rest
And dream you sleeping on my chest
I ll send you songs to carry you to sleep
Won t be so long we ll have this watch to keep
Loving you is the best I know of home
I ll be thinking of you hard hard hard as I open up my arms

I m drunk on moonmilk, I m high up in the air
Oh, woman, you are silk there and there and there
With a kiss you wake me up, you always leave too soon
As you go will you fill my cup with the milk of the moon?

    If you need a reason

    Got so lost that i went to church
    Sorry god bu you made it worse
    Made me sit beind a fence
    Haunted by the evidence
    I guess you don’t want me to think
    So instead i’ll dream and drink
    Got too drunk to drive home
    In the cab i grabbed my phone
    And made a call i might...

    Meer dan sympathie

    Weet je nog op school
    Je was m n hartsvriendin
    We hadden geen geheimen
    We deden onze zin

    Ik wilde wel iets meer
    Maar jij had een vaste vriend
    Je bracht me aan het twijfelen
    Had jij dat ook misschien

    Watching you

    Take me downtown
    It s where the people rock,
    Three-hundred sixty five ? cos we never stop.

    Take me downtown
    Cos peoples runnin wild.
    See how we kick it in a brand new style.

    Take me downtown
    It s where i wanna go.
    Everyone i know is going to my show-

    Take me downtown
    Where the city hum,
    Then...

    Strażnik snu

    O drugiej dziesięć
    księżyc liznął ucho twe
    tak bardzo szybko
    nie złapałem go za język

    o czwartej pięć
    to słońce
    we wtosach twych
    urządziło sobie
    legowisko dla promieni

    a ja cię pilnuję
    towarzystwo gonię podejrzane
    które tu nad ranem
    ściąga patrzeć jak śpisz

    wcale się nie dziwię

    Ich Troje jest kradzione

    Napisałem hit, cały kraj go znał wył i piał
    i śpiewali tak, dokładnie w takt, zgadnij jak?
    już zabrakło pierwszych miejsc
    wszyscy grają powerplay
    co to będzie kiedy wyda się

    że Wiśniewski to nie ja
    że to wszystko nie jest moje
    że to wszystko wielki pic
    a...
