[Verse 1]
Gm D7
Red, red moon, keep on rising
Gm
The sunset soon indeed will bleed in my horizon
F
The crescent rests, tethered to the west
F7 D7
Waxing to the rhythm writhing in my chest
Gm
That crack between the watercolor sky and sea is the
Corner where you’re born in the mist
[Prechorus]
Eb Gm Eb Gm
I might deride the tide, ‘cause I’m pulled as it pools 'round my feet
Eb Ebm Gm F D D7
Towards your stolen light, while I'm held in your slight gravity!
[Chorus]
Gm Cm
Well I walk the equator, chasing the light
D7 Gm
Little do I know it orbits close behind
Gm Cm
I might remember or might assume
D7 Gm
But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
Cm D7 Gm
I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon
Cm D7 Gm
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon
Gm D7
[Verse 2]
Gm D7
Red, red moon. When will your shadows break?
Gm
Tell the truth; what’re you hiding behind that face?
F
If matter's in then I might space out
F7 D7
Why can’t I take in what you’ve been dishing out?
Gm
Why do I reject while you endlessly reflect?
You’re projecting your perfection astounds
[Prechorus]
Eb Gm Eb Gm
Nighttime, please hide my eyes, so the man up there won’t watch me stare
Eb Ebm Gm F D D7
Teach me to make moonshine, and we’ll get drunk on the spirits of the air
[Chorus]
Gm Cm
Well I walk the equator, chasing the light
D7 Gm
Little do I know it orbits close behind
Gm Cm
I might remember or might assume
D7 Gm
But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
Cm D7 Gm
I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon
[Bridge]
G Cm F Bb
The constellations form infinite paisleys in the sky
G Cm D G
The condensation tumbles down and erases all my sight
Cm F Bb
And is it in the nightmare map of the cosmos up high?
G Cm D D7 Gm
Or is it in the signs? Or stranger still, the dust in my eyes?
[Chorus]
Gm Cm
Well I walk the equator, chasing the light
D7 Gm
Little do I know it orbits close behind
Gm Cm
I might remember or might assume
D7
But I only turn around every once
Gm Cm
I said I walk the equator, chasing the light
D7 Gm
Little do I know it orbits close behind
Gm Cm
I might remember or might assume
D7 Gm
But I only turn around every once in a red, red moon
Cm D7 Gm
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon
Cm D7 Gm
I said I only turn around every once in a red, red, moon
