Crimson Moon Songtext
von Bert Jansch

Crimson moon
In the early early morning
Blue black skies
Tell me why, if she loves me
My baby, she drives me wild
Like a little child
Standing on the edge
She wants to learn to swim
She looks at the water
But she won′t dive in

Crimson moon
Tell me why


She's like a new spring flower
Come out to play
On a great day in autumn
She brightens up the day
But does she know that winter′s gone
And Jack Frost is on his way?
Oh, yes, he is
Gotta hide, little girl, from his icy stare
Run back to the sunshine
He won't catch you there

Run, little girl, run

Oh, crimson moon
In the early early morning
Blue black skies

Tell her I love her
She will listen to you
Tell her she can hear the heart beating
Of a dragonfly
In her blood
And taste the spring water of a mountain stream
And feel the burning kiss of a lover's grin

Tell her I love her
She will listen to you
She will know that it′s true
