| | Calling the Moon Lyrics Artist(Band):Dar Williams
I turned off the engine and the headlights The trees appeared as they'd never been gone I promised the fields I'd return from now on And the moon kept on rising I had no more to say I put my roadmaps away And surendered the day And I know you'll be calling me soon And if I don't answer, I'm calling the moon Calling the moon, I was calling her then I'm wondering, will she take me again Oh, I'm calling the moon When I called the moon back to me I thought she wanted my beauty I shone in the best that vanity buys I covered the path where my life turned to lies And the moon kept on rising But I felt nothing at all She comes when the empire falls And shines on crumbling walls Calling the moon, by the name that she chose As Tennessee wandered in moth-eaten robes Oh, I'm calling the moon Calling the moon Oh, I'm calling the moon Oh, make sense of me, night I can see so much from this cold height The moon said, "Oh darkness, my work is done I've poured this bottle of light from the sun But their anger keeps on rising And they don't understand I've shown them all that I can That the world is at hand And I know they'll be calling me soon And if I don't answer I'm only the moon I can see by her light This one's going out to the moon tonight Oh, I'm calling the moon Calling the moon, 'cause I know what it's worth To tug at the seas and illumine the earth Oh I'm calling the moon Oh I'm calling the moon If you find some error in Calling the Moon Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Calling the Moon i often call the moon - and dar suggests that the moon may care | Reviewer: julie | 4/23/2006 Calling the Moon has the mystery of many of Dar's songs... making me angry, and sad even when I don't really know exactly why. Like the song describes, I too have turned off the engine... "and promised the fields I’d return from now on" many times in my life... and it seems like no matter how many times I "surrendered the day" I find myself angry that the moon rises with no thought of me, coming back even "when the empire falls" and shining "on the crumbing walls"... But Dar suggests that the moon can see us: "I can see her light; this one's going out to the moon tonight" And Dar suggests to me that it is "worth" calling the moon - to call on the one that tugs at the seas and illumines the earth! Dar has given me so much since the day I heard her in concert at UC Berkeley in 1995... Sometimes I think she and I live parallel lives... but then I realize we all live parallel lives... and we are all blessed to have artists to remind us of this.... Thank you Dar all those who make her music possible! Is this review helpful to you?
