When The Moon Turns Red

[Verse 1] Where the mystic river flows Hidden in the mist-bank cold Sleeps a creature left alone Buried stories Bones and stone No man No beast No name Only hunger for a face Mean no harm Just fevered eyes Watching campfire ember skies [Chorus] When the moon turns red He’s calling Through the roots Through the bark Through the starlit dark He’s calling Every leaf holds its breath Every wolf lifts its head and is stalling When the moon turns red He’s calling For rest [Verse 2] Footprints pressed in untouched ground Fade before they make a sound Children whisper in their beds Of the shadow by the sheds Old ones say “stay off that shore Past the crooked Leaning oaks” Still he waits for one brave soul Just to answer when he spoke [Chorus] When the moon turns red He’s calling Through the roots Through the bark Through the starlit dark He’s calling Every leaf holds its breath Every wolf lifts its head and is stalling When the moon turns red He’s calling For rest
