Lyrics
Oh the moon is rising
Over the river of release
Storm clouds have blown away
And the city sleeps in peace
This night has cleared my mind
Of cynical unrest
How can I be so calm?
It's almost like I'm blessed
It's an old old tale I'm telling now
Of a caterpillar and cocoon
The butterflies bring no surprise
When the mountain meets the moon
When the mountain meets the moon
Oh the mountain sings its song
Far too low to hear
But when you listen for it
You can feel it loud and clear
It sings of ancient mountaineers
Who couldn't stay below
And when the chorus comes around
It's begging you to go
It's an old old song I'm singing now
Of a caravan upon the dunes
That travelled past the very last
When the mountain met the moon
When the mountain meets the moon
3am in Burlington
I'm lying on the floor
I like the wood against my back
Supporting me so sure
But if it's true that all things firm
Melt into the air
On that day I'll fade away
And never have a care
It's an old old tale I'm telling now
Of a caterpillar and cocoon
The butterflies bring no surprise
When the mountain meets the moon
When the mountain meets the moon
