Calling the Moon Lyrics
Artist(Band):Dar Williams
The moon wanted more of my night
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

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!
