Lyrics

The Furrow Collective sing Blow Out the Moon

Bed is too small for my tiredness;
Bring me a hilltop with trees.
Tuck a cloud up under my chin, love.
Blow out the moon, please!

Rock me to sleep in a cradle of dreams;
Sing me a lullaby, please.
Tuck a cloud up under my chin, love.
Blow out the moon, please!

Bed is too small for my tiredness;
Bring me a hilltop with trees.
Tuck a cloud up under my chin, love.
Blow out the moon, please!
