Story behind the song
This song was written for the second novel in my Doors of Destiny series: Copper - The Green Door. No spoilers, so let's just say this poignant tale is sung by Jester the Myna Bird, and that bird can be triggered by a phrase spoken that triggers a song in him.
Jester is one half of a court-jester troupe. His owner, Ranger Rexx, is a court jester and entertainer, as well as a King's Ranger. This talented duo has entertained throughout the realm.
Lyrics
The Sun rises morning by morning, you know
And when he takes the sky all the stars have to go
But the moon was created to reflect his light
And she shines in the sky, both by day and by night
But it wasnt always that way, so they say
Not it wasnt always that way.
For the sun is the bridegroom, the moon is his bride
And they used to go courting in space side by side
And she danced all around him, reflecting his light
But you never would see her at night, Oh no,
You never would see her at night.
See, the Moon was afraid, afraid of the dark
For it gobbled her up, bit by bit, like a shark
Every month was the same, whether summer or fall
Till you wouldnt see her at all, Oh no,
Till you wouldnt see her at all.
But the Lord made them both to be kingdoms apart
For one ruled the day, and the other the dark
But the Lord in His wisdom, gave each of them sway
When he gave them their crowns on that day.
So they say,
When He gave them their crowns on that day.
But the Moon was afraid, afraid of the dark
For it gobbled her up, bit by bit, like a shark
Every month was the same, whether summer or fall
Till you wouldnt see her at all, Oh no,
Till you wouldnt see her at all.
Well the Lord, who knows all, had considered their plight
But He needed the Moon to rule over the night
So He gave her a court, countless pinpoints of light
And they throng her, every night, so you see,
They throng her every night.
Still the Moon was afraid, afraid of the dark
For it gobbled her up, bit by bit, like a shark
Every month was the same, whether summer or fall
Till you wouldnt see her at all, Oh no,
Till you wouldnt see her at all.
But the Lord who sees all, he promised the Moon
That shed always grow back, like a flower in bloom
And shell never be gone, shell always give light
As long as she travels the night, oh yes,
As long as she travels at night.
Still the Moon was afraid, afraid of the dark
For it gobbled her up, bit by bit, like a shark
Every month was the same, whether summer or fall
Till you wouldnt see her at all, Oh no,
Till you wouldnt see her at all.
So the Lord pointed out that the moon disappears
In the times when her husband the sun is near
For his brightness consumes her, it wasnt the dark
Its her love for him, stealing her heart,
Oh yes,
Its her love for him, stealing her heart.
Now the Moons not afraid, afraid of the dark
For it cannot consume her, she knows its her heart
Most nights you can see her, hanging above
Reflecting the light of her love,
Yes,
Reflecting the light of her love.
