Happy Birthday, Morgan!

lyrics

The moon is full,
it's oh so full,
and we both recall that
some poet once compared
the full moon to a white balloon
caught in the branches
of a black tree

We're out walking
it's well past twelve and
the moon seems to
be dogging our footsteps,
following us home,
caught as she is

But then something I say
sets both of us
laughing like mad

Something you say
sets both of us
looking back

It goes on and on
We go on and on

My glass is empty
at last and I say
something about going home
but you just laugh
we sit a bit longer
we're still and silent

The water marks
on the window pane
get me appreciating
the breaks between our sentences,
those comfortable silences--
the little gifts that
oh, that we make so much of

But then something I say
sets both of us
laughing like mad

Something you say
sets both of us
looking back

It goes on and on
We go on and on
