Let me sing you another moon song. ♥ "Moon River" (cover)
The moon is almost full. Do you feel it?
It's 3 days away. I'm feeling it madly. Lunatically. I've been all afternoon listening to sad songs. I do Google searches sometimes for things like...
-Darkest sad songs of all time
-Acoustic indie sad folk songs
-Songs that make you want to die
-Saddest poems in the world
I kind of live in a bubble of shadows sometimes, it seems. If you met me in real life you would think I was nothing out of the ordinary, just a little quiet. A little goofy. Jokey after you get to know me a few months. Hard to get to know me, though.
I am kind of secretive. For instance, I worked at my job in the cafeteria last year from November last year until the end of May, and no one there knows that I am a songwriter. I've added no one there to any of my social media accounts. They think I don't use them. And since I use my maiden name online, they'll never find me.
Anyway. Here's a dreamy song for you. I used to sing it for my daughter every single night at bedtime, but a few years ago she told me that she was "too old for bedtime songs."
(My heart BROKE)
So now I just sing it for myself. And you, if you'd like for me to.
Lyrics:
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
Oh, dream maker
You heartbreaker
Where ever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend
Moon river and me
