Your moon has come out tonight

Round as a crying eye

Round as a ringlet of smoke

From your smoke signal sky



I am the oak and the maple

I have covered my roots

You are the dancing virginia

In black leather boots



Come as the silver morning

Come as a dragonfly

Come as my sleeping sister

Through the midnight sky



Chorus:

Cover me with your fires ashes

Cover me with your midnight veil

Cover me with your smokey river

Cover me, dancing virginia



Theres a pain in my side

And it's killing me

There's a field of crows

Now a black sea



And i've called upon the hills

And i've called upon the soil

And they've screamed in my ear

Where's your heart boy?



Chorus:

Cover me with your fires ashes.....



Your moon has come out tonight

Round as a crying eye

Round as a ringlet of smoke

From your smoke signal sky



Come as the silver morning

Come as a dragonfly

Come as my sleeping sister

Through the midnight sky



Cover me with your fire's ashes

Cover me with your midnight veil

Cover me with your smokey river

Cover me, dancing virginia

Cover me with your revelation

Cover me with your sorrows tale

Cover me with your holy water

Cover me, dancing virginia



The grey elephant folds of adventure

The blue oasis of meditaion

The feathered touch of a sleepy afternoon

Beaneath the tent of a palmetto haven

And I'm rising upwards from my feet

As children run side by side with their elation
