E7: e|--0---| B|--3---| G|--2---| D|--2---| A|--1---| E|--0---| VERSE Above the dark house On a black tar roof Stood the sad milkman In love with the moon She filled up his window With a soft milky light He crawled up the chimney And into the night Chorus But the moon she rises And the moon she falls And her slow white eye Sees nothing at all VERSE Down on the sidewalk A crowd gathered round They were throwing up bricks and bottles To knock the boy down He stood up above them With his hands in the air Calling up to the moonbeams Come let down your hair But the moon she rises And the moon she falls And her slow white eye Sees nothing at all VERSE (fingerpicking) Well he wanted to feel like A bucket of milk A sweet summer wind On rolling green hills (strumming) He wanted to climb up From the roof sailing up Upon the night wind To the arms of... Chorus But the moon she rises And the moon she falls And her slow white eye Sees nothing at all oh no And as the moon she rises And the moon she falls Well her slow white eye Sees nothing at all

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le triste laitier qui rêve d'une connexion romantique avec la lune. Il admire sa lumière douce qui envahit son espace, mais il est aussi confronté à une réalité brutale : dehors, une foule s'en prend à un garçon qu'il essaie de protéger de leur colère. Ce personnage aspire à une vie plus douce, à s'envoler vers la lune, loin des conflits du monde. Cependant, la lune, belle mais distante, reste indifférente à ses désirs et à la détresse qui se déroule en bas. Cette dualité entre le rêve et la dureté de la réalité crée une atmosphère poignante.
