Red Moon - The Call, Robert Levon Been

It’s a quiet night

By a still lake

The child falls

The bough breaks

Trust fails

Play ends

Faith is born

The work begins

Dawn breaks in a strange world

Of violent men and painted girls

Love comes, love goes

And the world goes by

I’ve seen lows, I’ve seen highs

I’ve seen days when I had to cry

The light fades and the night comes

The streets are dark and dangerous

I dream of an old friend

Of quiet talks that never end

Love comes, Love goes

And the world goes by

There’s an old man on his last legs

Calls his children to his bed

He reaches out to an empty space

A smile comes to that gentle face

I dream of a new world

Where vows are made, where a cry is heard

Love dies, love grows

And the world goes by

A warm wind and a red moon

And the world goes by

It’s a sweet life

By a still lake

The creature falls

The bough breaks

The word is out, there’s no denial

The past weighs on the reconciled

I’d follow you to the ends of this earth

Through the raging storms

Through the pain of birth

Love comes, love goes

And the world goes by

A warm wind, a red moon

And the world goes by
