From the recording Desolate Heaven
Asheville's Shindig on the Green and Van Morrison's "Moondance." A moisty woods along the river, rich in ferns. Woodthrushes fifing sound sculptures from the underbrush. A handholding walk. Then drifting. Losing touch. And finally, resolute, bravely kindling a hope of reconnection.
Lyrics
If someday the sway of fate should chase us into
Constellations that lie unforeseen
Wind your mind in time to bygone nights; you'll find us
Moonlight dancing on the village green
Leaves that shivered in the shy southeastern breezes
Fell to earth and slowly decomposed
Photographs of two relentless lovers laughing
Blind to images yet unexposed
Hey
Forest pathways weaving underneath the brambles
Pulsing with the thrushes’ song unseen
Animated by the radiated sunlight
Fading trace of where our trail had been
Hey
The sage and the fool See the other’s face reflected in the pool
If one day the wraiths of fate should bait us into
Confrontations that lie unforeseen
Wind your mind in time to well-nigh nights; you'll find us
Moonlight dancing on the village green
Moonlight dancing on the village green
Moonlight dancing
