On the night when the moon said “no”
Someone else said why can’t we all go
Up the hill by the top of the bay
Where the falls begin and the fish stay
That very night all the stars spoke
Everything hushed as the tide broke
Fish jumped over the whale’s hump
Frogs croaked on a tree stump
Safe and tightly curled
And all was well with the world
On the night when the sun said “go”
Silence fell across the globe
From the east where the mountains reach high
To the valley where the trees are shy
All wondered what was going on
Then it became dark all around
The crickets woke up from their naps
The deer licked the spots right off their backs
Safe and tightly curled
But all was right in the world
That was the same day the sea said “oh”
Someone said it happened long ago
It was up to the moon to pull you in
It fell on the sand to push back again
Not long before the stars fell
On their way down, they wished you well
We watched them fall on fire to break
Over land and sea, our souls at stake
Safe and tightly curled
Still, all was right in the world
