The Moon and Stars Lyrics by Radie Peat
The moon and stars were weeping
Weeping high above
Watching me lamenting
Lamenting you my love
You were cruel and hard-hearted
Even though you lied to me
Oh, I wished I had never dawned
When you set your eyes on me
For your favor’s like a feather
That’s blown on every wind
You promised me the moon and stars
Just to leave me now behind
Oh, I wish I never seen your face or heard your lying tongue
I wish I had my time again for what is done is done
I’ll go down to my father’s garden
And I will sit and cry my fill
For when I gave myself away
It was with my own free will
There’s a herb grows in your garden
And some they call it rue
When swallows die and fishes fly
Then young men will prove true
Oh, I wish I never seen your face or heard your lying tongue
I wish I had my time again for what is done is done
The moon and stars were screeching, roaring in the sky
I laid my head upon a stone and then I closed my eyes
