Ian Anderson lyrics : "A Better Moon"

I see you better now, shaded in deeper blue
Hardly needing to carry the find-your-way lamp
Down to the river

Tonight flies a better moon

Sad water buffalo lie fast near the shallows;

A splash revealing the fly-catching fishes
Dark Gods silently watching
Tonight flies a better moon


I guess you've known lovers here, compliant in passion
Softly laid in the old reed bed, harshly

Lit in the noon sun
Tonight flies a better moon


Now cloaked in this milky light, new as the virgin dawn,
shrouded sweetly in all kinds of mystery,
You turn, smile and then are gone

Tonight flies a better moon
