Forever as the Moon - Chris Robinson Brotherhood

Fine Sir John got far beyond

And laid low one wet September

It was then he wrote

The curse of her pearls

For which he is now remembered

But of course it all came to an end

By early next December

When fine Sir John with all reason gone faded into his winter

And the wind did howl, and the trees did bow

The wolves all cried on the day he died

I survived their sugar cures and I dined with snow eating sinners

So much weather has come and gone as the swine roll in the embers

Give my regards to the captain of the guards who has lost his saber

While in the back room the boys have it large

While his mistress she sets the table

And the wine will spill and the moon will shine

The dream is gone and it’s about time

Has it always been this way

So much sorrow so much pain

From this day nothing will be the same

Watch the starboard child

Walk your plank and sink away, away

Anyway you love, we know how you feel

Let’s open the door to tomorrows

Hidden charms and gaze in wonder

Let the music play

Let the people parade in many colors

As we watch the candle burn

There is nothing we have learned

So please believe the thunder

Where evermore is a place of lore

And the messenger he just shivers

And the lights they dim and the masks removed

And the night falls in forever as the moon

Anyway you love, we know how you feel

Anyway you love, we know how you feel
