Lavender Moonshine

from Lavender Moonshine by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

Have you ever stayed up late at night
Staring at the sky
Thinking about who is born right now
And who’s afraid to die
It’s the circle of life surrounding you
That makes you feel so fine
As you taste the cool, cool waters
And the lavender moonshine

It’s a hard, hard road that’s held you
Since as long as you recall
Playing every bar and club
And sometimes a great hall
But the thing that keeps you moving
The thing that is so fine
Is the taste of those cool waters
And the lavender moonshine

Chorus:
Walk along the boardwalk
Breathe the salty air
Thank the heavens for all you have
And the ones for whom you care
Sit beside a stranger
Sit beside a friend
Always keep an open heart
It will help you in the end

It’s a bitter root you taste sometime
No sweet can ever quell
And once you bite right through that trace
You sense a deeper spell
Cause everything you go through
Every spool you wind
Is in the taste of that cool water
And the lavender moonshine

Chorus:

Oh the heart’s deep longing
Is in everything we know
We scratch along the surface
We shovel through the snow
But all the while we’re searching
For the reason that we’re here

It’s clear that
Love is what we’re looking for
Love is how we see
Love is in our fear
And in our ecstasy
Love’s the sweetest kiss goodnight
Love’s the axe we grind
It’s the taste of that cool water
And that lavender moonshine

Chorus:

Sit beside a stranger
If they make you feel so fine
Share that cool, cool water
And that lavender moonshine
