CLAIR DE LUNE by Claude Debussy,
new words by Joel Sattler

full moon
clair de lune
the sky is cloudless
clair de lune

the summer sun is rising soon
ending of june
the lingering scent of her perfume
in an old room

we had yesterday
full of sunshine
world at play
a day just like all those other days
until

now
will there be no end to this eternal night?
now
who can make what was wrong into what is right?

if I close my eyes now
will it somehow disappear
and when I open
will it be what I feared?

I should have known then
I would have still kept you here by my side

oh
moon jealous moon
are you here alone
left with only the stars?

moon jealous moon
did you love the sun
and come undone?
jealous moon
cold and lifeless and dead inside

helpless moon
can I just for tonight
be the best friend
that you never had in your whole life?

hopeless moon
nothing to live for
nothing to die for
nothing

moon silent moon
why should I
love you?

full moon
clair de lune
the sky is cloudless
clair de lune

although you know I care for you
clair de lune too
there's nothing else that I can do
do just for you

goodbye go in peace
may your seasons never cease
and if I ever find release
I will come back for you

clair de lune
I owe my heart
to you
