Moonman

My little moonman, take me back

 

to the twelve stars, higher and higher

Got to know more chords and books

We all love to watch you come down

Bring us peace, hope and lots of good songs

 

Music is your first love, forever it will be

With no interest in becoming a politician

No interest in ruling the world on your own

„That doesn’t turn me on, oh no

Not like music does, music, every day“

 

Love you, little moonman

 

„Hey man, you’ve got the power,

We all love to have you around.

We listen to you, feed you with energy, 

Why don’t use your power righteously?“

Wake up, take that melody and please; sing!

 

You’re not just a visitor for a few days

God bless you and thank you for your arrival

How does it feel, this walk you take outside?

You learn joining us, talk like us, adapt to us,

Yet you keep the gift to see right through us

 

Love you, little moonman

 

But little moonman, where do you hide

The world is so big, there is no exit

Grace to your fame, your success

There’s no riddle left in the frame

The nation wants celebrities to caress

 

They are the hunters, always hunting

You are the huntee, always haunting,

 

Beautifully and eerily, so unlike yourself

It would be the right time to explode, implode,

Thank you for your patience with us, thank you,

 

Love you, little moonman

 

I was hoping you would go back one day,

Back to where you came from, hail from,

But you’re the perfect man on earth

To take over someone's job, take care of us

How on earth do we deserve your kindness?

 

And you're saying: „The universe is

 

anywhere I go, anywhere I lay my head,

and I never feel like being alone.“

With these words you left me, and in my heart

I know I’m never going to see you again

 

Love you, little moonman

 

Although you brought us salvation

It’s not what I’ve been looking for

I’m war’s child with a rebel heart

I know, if things had been perfect

You would've stayed here with me.

 

 

Miss you, little moonman
