A Better Moon Composer(s): Ian Anderson Performer(s): Ian Anderson
I see you better now Shaded in deeper blue Hardly needing to carry The find-your-way lamp down to the river And tonight flies a better moon Sad water buffalo lie fast near the shallows a splash revealing the fly-catching fishes Dark Gods silently watching And tonight flies a better moon I guess you've known lovers here, compliant in passion Softly laid in the old reed bed, harshly lit in the noon sun And 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 And tonight flies a better moon And tonight flies a better moon And tonight flies a better moon
