HOW TO GROW LILIES
ON THE MOON
LYRICS:
They say there’s a girl who lives on the Moon
Takes lunar walks in the afternoons
She hums to the stars in celestial spheres
Plants quiet thoughts where no one else hears
She dances in craters where Tycho rays roam
Her feet barely touching the dust she calls home
Orbiting the Earth
She is close but always far away
Gardens in the grey
Learned to bloom, now she’s growing lilies on the Moon
She watches the Earth from a tidal-locked ledge
Far from the noise and the gravity’s edge
She moves with the rhyme of the galaxy’s prose
Secrets she waters where no one else goes
No signal to follow, no tether to trace
She floats through the static in infinite space
Orbiting the Earth
She is close but always far away
Gardens in the grey
Learned to bloom, now she’s growing lilies on the Moon
Build a rocket to go and see her
That’s what falling in love is for
