about

We recorded this on Wolfe Island in Canada, at my friend Chris Brown's studio, the Post Office. It's about ghost face of a lost loved one peering in my window as a Super Blue Blood Moon. A fox listened for a minute on the porch while we were getting it down.

lyrics

Ghost Moon

Ghost, not dead enough to be gone
The morning moon still hanging on
Wan light at the window pane
Ghost, both of us up before dawn
Still I can’t seem to get a move on
Haunt me with your moon face

The sun comes up cold and the sky full of crows
Quiet and iced, can’t I go when you go
Renewing the orbit of your ellipse
Here in the umbra of your eclipse

Ghost, endless shaking your grave
Tending the plot where you lay
Folded in the pages of my mind
Oh, to rest in the cool of your shade
To hide while I watch the parade
Clamor for the night sky

Here while gone. Gone, gone all along.

Or you in the umbra and I the shot light—
High in your field, you don’t put up a fight
Even in death your right of refusal
Even in death seeking your approval

Pull, over and over again
On this ocean in the dark.
Full, your perigee flooding and then
The high tide watermark

Gone so soon. Haunt, haunt me on a blue moon.
Here while gone, gone all along, gone so soon,
Haunt me, oh you blue moon.
