We ate May down to the rind
Asked the moon for another helping
It's getting on past suppertime
Lights are low and it was evening

Pull your dress up to your knees
Out in the fields we'll go walking
Just the tall grass and the trees
Silhouettes and crickets singing

And here I am holding on to you
And you've got the moon

See the leaves fall as they turn
Green into a golden evening
Slowly, so there is no change
It does not feel like the end of something

And here I am holding on to you
And you've got the moon

Stars and satellites and clouds
Everything tonight is floating
And I am too, so I hold your hand
And up above the moon is rowing

And here I am holding on to you
And you've got the moon
