Running With The Moon

Hello my love,

Lay down your head,

And listen to my tune;

I’ll tell you the tale of a night bright and pale,

Where I ran with the path of the moon.


Oh rounded and moony darling,

Oh rounded and moony babe,

Just promise me kisses,

I’ll make ye my missus,

And sing ye the songs of my long bygone days.


She shone bright and clear,

On her face did appear,

A smile that sent my heart singing.

When she looked my way I disowned all the days,

And night was my wed’ now a ringing.


Oh rounded and moony darling,

Oh rounded and moony babe,

Just promise me kisses,

I’ll make ye my missus,

And sing ye the songs of my long bygone days.


By her light I crossed every rock in the road,

I swam ev’ry river and kissed ev’ry toad,

By the time t’was daylight back home in my bed;

I vowed I’d ne’r ‘gain be a’sleepin’.


Oh rounded and moony darling,

Oh rounded and moony babe,

Just promise me kisses,

I’ll make ye my missus,

And sing ye the songs of my long bygone days.


I followed her through all her phases,

Her ups and her downs I did sow,

Til her light burned out darkly and left me unmarkedly;

To find she’d brought me back home.


Oh rounded and moony darling,

Oh rounded and moony babe,

Just promise me kisses,

I’ll make ye my missus,

And sing ye the songs of my long bygone days.
