Move Over Moon
Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle

My horoscope warns me don't talk to strangers
Talk dark and handsome or short bald and plain
My soothsayer says to sit tight
And wait for my stars to get rearranged

So don't talk to me
Don't bother me
I'm just waiting for my heavens to change

Move over Moon
Get out of Uranus
'cause this house is anxious
For the sun to come in
'cause it's on the rise
It's on the rise
It's time for my new day to begin
So move over Moon

I sit at my window
By the first light of dawn
Tapping on the glass
As I worry out loud
I'm waiting for a wind to blow
And break up this sinister cloud
Till the stillness and calm of the early morning snaps
With the screeching of tires and the honkin' of the horns
They're pushin' and shovin' downtown
God knows nerves are frayed and badly torn
Still don't talk to me, don't bother me
I don't know yet what aspect is formed

Here is my nickel and here is my dime
Go down to the corner and buy me the Times
And look it up, look it up
Tell me if my planets are all in a line
All in a line

Move Over Moon
Get out of Uranus
'cause this house is anxious for the Sun to come in
'cause it's on the rise, it's on the rise
It's time for my new day to begin
So Move over Moon
