on the very night the Christ was born

Flags, rags, ferryboats, scimitars and scarves
every precious dream and vision underneath the stars
You climbed on the ladder
with the wind in your sails
you came like a comet
blazing your trail
too high, too far, too soon
You saw the whole of the moon!

you cut through lies
[...]
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon

every breath is yours, beloved
every breath is yours
