Their Moon Was Cardboard Lyrics by Burke Moses

The Fantasticks (The New Off-Broadway Recording)

2006

[EL GALLO, spoken]
Their moon was cardboard, fragile
It was very apt to fray
And what was last night scenic
May seem cynic by today
The play's not done
Oh, no—not quite
For life never ends in the moonlit night
And despite what pretty poets say
The night is only half the day
So we would like to truly finish
What was foolishly begun
For the story is not ended
And the play is never done
Until we've all of us been burned a bit
And burnished by—the sun!
