Jethro Tull - A Better Moon текст песни

I see you better now, shaded in deeper blue.

Hardly needing to carry the find-your-way lamp

Down to the river.

Tonight flies a better moon.

Sad water buffalo lie fast near the shallows;

A splash revealing the fly-catching fishes.

Dark gods silently watching.

Tonight flies a better moon.

I guess youve known lovers here, compliant in passion;

Softly laid in the old reed bed, harshly

Lit in the noon sun.

Tonight flies a better moon.

Now cloaked in this milky light, new as the virgin dawn,

Shrouded sweetly in all kinds of mystery,

You turn, smile and then are gone.

Tonight flies a better moon.
