about

This was one of the earliest songs recorded for the album, done at the end of the first session. The instrumental tracks were improvised, with the original intention being to read the lyrics over the music. But I found that the key was constant enough for me to also improvise a vocal melody. This was later refined when the band Cold Sky did a version and I created a set arrangement for it. The original has a rawness all its own which I am fond of. "Water from the moon" is a southeast Asian expression meaning essentially "to ask for the impossible".

lyrics

An end to war and hatred,
An end to need and want
A perfect life while living,
No memories that haunt
A span of years with no regrets
Or ways to fill them all
A world of spring and summertime,
An end to winter and fall
A time when all love is returned
And every promise true
A time when old age is a myth
And everyone is new
A time when everyone has food
And no one needs a car
A time when everyone is loved
For what they really are

And the world will change
With words and a tune

Water from the moon.

G.S., '84
