Scott King: Songs
The Moon and Mars
(Scott King)
2005
From Portrait.
I wrote this song for my wife while in Lyons, Colorado for the 2003 Rocky Mountain Folks Fest. That summer the moon really could be seen in the sky next to Mars. I have the greatest wife in the world, and this is one of my favorites of all the songs I've written. I'm glad that it could be for Shauna.
Can we go walkin'?
Let's go walkin' tall
We'll cool off in the river
By the red canyon wall
And as the sun goes down
We'll look up at the stars
You know the paper said tonight the moon will be dancing with mars
In this still night
With everything aglow
You're the one I give my heart to
You're the one I want to know
Everything looks brighter in the light of your smile
With your illumination
I can see for miles
In this still night
With everything aglow
You're the one I give my heart to
You're the one I want to know
Everything is just a little bit clearer now
Since you came around
I guess it's never too late to find the love you're looking for
You were beauty bathed in moonlight
When I opened up my door
