Sad moon Old moon You hide your smile tonight Caught in a web of city light The stars are gone The stars are gone The cow she jumped That holy heifer of the heavens It was her best bet To chew through the net But the stars They did not return. Sad moon Old moon You hide your smile tonight Caught in a web of city light The stars are gone Your friends are gone And men have grown so tall so tall To reach out and touch your constant face But the telling of this tale, it had to fall To a child in a moment of grace Sad moon Old moon You smile again so bright Caught in a web of city light On one small friend You can depend For a song and a story tonight
