Moondog Lyrics by Daniel Lanois

Here Is What Is

0

Moondog, I love you, love you so strong
And, moondog, I trust you, it's been long

I trust you when it's corporate bound
In facelessness I know your sound
Sweet water run where there was dust
I need to lift the weight I must

Better to feel that weight fall down
Better to feel that weight fall down

Two ways of looking just as easy to be kind
Two ways of looking just as easy to be kind

And, moondog, I lay my face down the night
My sleep not come, I hear your cries
In the omnipresence of the laughing gun
You reach me, moondog, you're the one

Better to feel that weight fall down
Better to feel that weight fall down
Better to feel that weight fall down
Better to feel that weight fall down

Two ways of looking just as easy to be kind
Two ways of looking just as easy to be kind

Moondog, please send me a friend
A friend, moondog, please send

Looking for a place in the world
I used to have a place in the world
Better the heart in the whistling wind
Better the part deep from within
I feel you in these moon days
Messages in moon rays

Better to feel that weight fall down
Better to feel that weight fall down

Two ways of looking just as easy to be kind
Two ways of looking just as easy to be kind
Two ways of looking just as easy to be kind
Two ways of looking just as easy to be kind

Hey, moondog, yeah
Oh Moondog, oh moondog
Moondog, yeah
Oh Moondog, yeah
