Under This Moon Songtext
von Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

It′s been a pleasure, dear
To find your treasure here
And scatter it across the sand
Heaps of coins and ruby rings
And a yellow bird that sings
Songs of sorrow to your memory

Well, stand back from that window sill
I'm not holding you here against your will
Well, I′m just trying my best to heal
This crazy old wounded moon

It's alright under this moon tonight
With you, dear
It's alright under this moon tonight

Your mouth is a crimson boat
In which my kisses float
In silence to the sea
Oh, well I love your touch
I love it very much
Deliriously


Your lover just called, he′s on the phone
I′m telling him kindly that you're not alone
Your smiling eyes shine like precious stones
Falling from the sky

Well, it′s alright under these stars tonight
With you, baby, it's alright
(It′s alright) Under these stars tonight

Let's get it on
And further more and in conjunction
And in some other time and space
Well, all joy will come
To you, to me, to everyone
Ah babe, didn′t we have it made

Well, love is sweet, it is agreed
As we float in the shallows of the deep
And on a bed of seaweed sleep
Among the pebbles and the sand

Well, it's alright under this moon tonight
With you, well it's alright
(It′s alright) Under this moon tonight, alright
