The moon was born with Earth they say Two vortex, large and small Of gas and dusty nebula And gravitation's pull Little wind does stroke its land For ma** is sixth of Earth Which holds down little Atmosphere Around its smaller girth It doesn't suffer weathering Or recycling of rocks It's craters still look like the day The meteors gave it pox The moon it had no H20 No vapour formed a sea The soup of life was not there served So remained species free! The jealous moon so tries to steal Our oceans from their sleep In cohorts with the Sun In tides, the water it does reap It shares our sky as night time falls Lit by Suns distant rays Earths shadow makes it wax and wane in monthly orbit phase It shows us always that same face
A twirl timed to perfection The dark side made to shy away and ne'er holds lights reflection It has a trick tucked up it's sleeve When trajectory befits Its size and distance blocks the Sun In rare lunar eclipse But feel the comfort shared by those In full moons gentle light It's softness soothes the wounded heart And hears its woeful plight A flip of coin would have us think The disc could turn us wild It sparked a werewolf fairy tale That scared me as a child The moon was born with Earth they say I think it was decided. The other explanations Was that meteor collided In orbit round the Earth it stayed It's how the theory's stated But I prefer the version here That has the two related.
