Ian Anderson - A Better Moon lyrics

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 pa**ion; 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.
