[00:22.50]I see you better now, shaded in deeper blue.
[00:29.40]Hardly needing to carry the find-your-way lamp
[00:34.80]Down to the river.
[00:40.29]Tonight flies a better moon.
[00:51.63]Sad water buffalo lie fast near the shallows;
[00:57.27]A splash revealing the fly-catching fishes.
[01:03.24]Dark gods silently watching.
[01:09.24]Tonight flies a better moon.
[01:28.44]I guess you've known lovers here, compliant in passion;
[01:35.19]Softly laid in the old reed bed, harshly
[01:37.32]Lit in the noon sun.
[01:45.87]Tonight flies a better moon.
[02:26.58]Now cloaked in this milky light, new as the virgin dawn,
[02:36.90]Shrouded sweetly in all kinds of mystery,
[02:38.49]You turn, smile and then are gone.
[02:44.43]Tonight flies a better moon.

I see you better now, shaded in deeper blue.
Hardly needing to carry the find-your-way lamp
Down to the river.
Tonight flies a better moon.
Sad water buffalo lie fast near the shallows;
A splash revealing the fly-catching fishes.
Dark gods silently watching.
Tonight flies a better moon.
I guess you've known lovers here, compliant in passion;
Softly laid in the old reed bed, harshly
Lit in the noon sun.
Tonight flies a better moon.
Now cloaked in this milky light, new as the virgin dawn,
Shrouded sweetly in all kinds of mystery,
You turn, smile and then are gone.
Tonight flies a better moon.
