Rising Full Moon by Selena
(From Tape Two)
Well a night like this I have rarely seen
Faces in the light a – gleam
Drum and whistle all in tune
All by the light of the shining moon
All by the light of the shining moon
Oh I’ll tell you what I know
The fires they were all aglow
People dancing all around
Moving their bodies to the sound
Moving their bodies to the sound
{chorus: }
Risin’ full moon, Risin’ full moon, Risin’ o’er the land
Risin’ people, Risin’ people, Rise and make your stand
Pixies prancing playfully
Jumping leaping joyfully
All the stars are sparklin’ high
In the midnight blue night sky
In the midnight blue night sky
Silhouettes of black the trees
Blowing in the gentle breeze
Glowing white clouds all a-driftin’
Slowly in the winds a-shiftin’
Slowly in the winds a-shiftin’
{chorus}
People gathered round a fire
Hazel logs a burnin’ higher
Voices chattering cheerfully
Above the clinks of cups of tea
Above the clinks of cups of tea
Wooly ponchos, hats on heads
Boots and beards and plaits and dreads
Tribes a- comin’ here to meet
Laughing eyes and dancing feet
Laughing eyes and dancing feet
{chorus}
Rain on faces lightly falling
Dragon rising she’s a – calling
join the now and heal the Earth
Time for the tribal people’s rebirth
Time for the tribal people’s rebirth
Ancient trackways following
On the old hillforts living
Dongas on the trail of freedom
Walking learning Earthly wisdom
Walking learning Earthly wisdom
{chorus}
Well, a night like this I have rarely seen
Faces in the light a – gleam
Drum and whistle all in tune
All by the light of the shining moon
All by the light of the shining moon
Selina wrote some strong Earth Ballades including this one
