This song is about seducing my husband one beautiful moonlit summer evening. Written in summer 2010.
lyrics
RABBIT IN THE MOON
Moon is up but it’s not late
C’mon don’t hesitate
If you don’t bite, then you won’t taste
The very sweetest thing.
Well, I could have it three times a day,
But then, you know, I’d waste away
Besides you’ve heard it the same as me
We’re bound to reap what we sow.
C’mon darling take my hand,
Let me lead you down a garden path
With honeysuckle and wild roses
Let my hair fly round these breezes
Whisper mysteries into my curls
Exhale as my soul unfurls
Never knew I could stand and fly
Both at the exact same time
There’s a rabbit in the moon
And I see light shine from you
Oh sweet lord almighty
don’t let day come to soon.
Lay me down on the ferns and ivy
Lay yourself on down beside me
Least that’s how we could explain
These things biblically
I see a rabbit in the moon
I see light shine from you
Oh sweet lord almighty
Don’t let day come too soon.
