The moon has come out tonight.
Round as a crying eye
Round as a ringle of smoke
From your smoke signal sky
I am the oak and the maple
I have covered my roots
You are the dancing Virginia
In black leather boots
Come as a silver morning
Come as the dragonfly
Come as my sleeping sister
Through the midnight sky
Cover me with your fire's ashes
Cover me with your midnight veil
Cover me with your smoky river
Cover me, dancing Virginia
There's a pain in my side
And it's killing me
There's a field of crows
Now a black sea
And I have called upon the hills
And I have called upon the soil
And they have screamed in my ear
Where's your heart boy
Cover me with your fire's ashes
Cover me with your midnight veil
Cover me with your smoky river
Cover me, dancing Virginia
Ooooooh (x a bunch)
Your moon has come out tonight
Round as a crying eye
Round as a ringlet of smoke
From your smoke signal sky
Come as a silver morning
Come as a dragonly
Come as my sleeping sister
Through the midnight sky
Cover me with your fire's ashes
Cover me with your midnight veil
Cover me with your smoky river
Cover me, dancing Virginia
Cover me with your revelation
Cover me with your sorrow's tale
Cover me with your holy water
Cover me, dancing Virginia
The gray elephant folds of adventure
The blue oasis of meditation
The feathered touch of a sleepy afternoon
Beneath the tent of a palmetto haven
And I'm rising upwards from my feet
As children run side by side with their elation
Oooooh (x a bunch)
