Bert Jansch Crimson Moon Lyrics

Crimson moon
In the early early morning
Blue black sky
Tell me why
If she loves me
My baby she drives me wild
Like a little child
She's standing on the edge, she wants to learn to swim
She looks at the water but she won't dive in
Crimson moon
Tell me why

She's like a new spring flower
Come out to play
On a grey day in Autumn
She brightens up the day
But does she know that winter's coming?
Jack Frost is on his way
You've got to hide little girl from his icy stare Run back to the sunshine he won't catch you there
Run little girl run

Crimson moon,
In the early early morning
Blue black sky
Tell her I love her
She will listen to you
Tell her she can hear the heartbeat of a dragonfly
In full flight
Taste the spring water of the mountain stream
And feel the burning kiss of a lover's dream
Tell her I love her
She will listen to you
She will know that it's true
