New Moon

New moon New leaf New sorrow New grief New pain and suffering Never ending, never dying Not a soul, not a sinner Never wishing, never crying Now a time, then a place First a heart, then a spade Next of kin, next in line Never being, never made Not to be mistaken for Not to be forgiven from Never to be damaged for Banished to or driven from Take my hand, take it now Take it while you can Take your time forever Help me understand Take it to the smithy He'll bash it out for you Take your heart to Hylda She'll bare it on the wall Take it to the jester He'll figure out the gist Who can see your mind Who can hear your fist Take it home to Linah She'll box it up for you Serve it to you backwards Send you to the zoo New moon never rising New leaf never dying New sorrow never sown New grief never known Take your mother by the hand Touch her soft and gentle soul Touch your brother, take his hand Take his burden, feel him stand Dear Linah, sweet goddess Please tell me, is it you? Catch the breeze, catch the wave Feel your heart drift away
