Lonely Side of the Moon - Sarah Slean

The wind makes a terrifying sound

It wants to pull the lid off Earth

It wants to tear the heavens down

It seems like Nature verses Man

But the battle is absurd

All the cards are in her hand

Graceful animal

How clumsy you can be

I will make a mess of you

If you make a mess of me

But there’s always the lonely side of the moon

You can live on the lonely side of the moon

Observe the glacier bowing out

Like a brave and threatened queen

Who knows there’s no way out

Be afeared if you think gods and men conspire

The human drama burns

While the stage is catching fire

Deep dark ocean

Cherry tree in bloom

If there are no mockingbirds

How will I find a tune?

On the lonely side of the moon

If I live on the lonely side of the moon

Oh so beautiful

Can this be the end?

Let me learn your miracles

If I am to start again

On the lonely side of the moon

When I live on the lonely side of the moon
