The Moth and the Moon Lyrics & Tabs by Jo Mango
The Moth and the Moon
guitar chords lyrics
Six o'clock in the 'shh!' of the library
Janitor's ready to close
Lady is running our fingers
Down the spines
Of the books
In the rows
Imagining touching was reading
And reading was knowing
And knowing was possible.
It's way past twelve in the darkness of the avenue
The tree is our roof from the sky
Lady is holding the pockets of a man
He is telling her, "don't cry"
Hoping that touching is feeling
And feeling is knowing
He is telling her, "don't cry"
Hoping that touching is feeling
And feeling is knowing
And knowing is possible.
The moth, it builds a song
For real things, real things
No sound,
But the pointing of a finger at the moon.
It's 4 a.m. by the clock on my radio
Thomas sits here by my side
He's telling me stories of ancient fears to ghosts,
And his scars have blood
He's saying, "reading"
He is touching
And touching is knowing
And knowing is possible.
Oh, if touching was reading
And reading was knowing
And knowing was possible.
