Sugar moon
Davina and The Vagabonds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The wind blew down
On me
And my moon tonight
The wind blew up up
The wind blew down down
One last time, along with the moon tonight, isnt it grand
Feel like going crazy
Nothing says it better like sugar moon
The fires out, the leaves are burnin under my feet
In the still of the moon tonight
The smoke is choked up
My lips are turnin red n pink n blue from kissing you mister moon
Nothing says it better like sugar moon
Nothing says it better like sugar moon
Isnt it grand?
oh what a night ive got mister moon and hes humming my songs
If i should die now before i wake
Bury me with my
Bury me with my sugar moon high above medicine lake
Isnt it grand
Feel like going crazy
Feel like going crazy now
Feel like going crazy
Feel like going crazy now
Feel like going crazy
Feel like going crazy now
Feel like going crazy now
In "Sugar Moon," Davina and The Vagabonds sing about the alluring power of the full moon, which seems to evoke wild and passionate feelings in the singer. The song opens with the wind blowing up and down, as if echoing the singer's inner turmoil. The moon is personified as a companion, always by her side and even humming her songs. She is overwhelmed by the intensity of her desire, feeling like she is going crazy and willing to be buried with her "sugar moon" if she were to die.
The repeated refrain "Nothing says it better like sugar moon" suggests that, for the singer, the feeling of being under the moon's spell is beyond words, something that can only be expressed through the magic of music. The song is a tribute to the power of nature, particularly the moon, to bring out our most primal instincts and emotions.
Overall, "Sugar Moon" is a bluesy, soulful track that showcases Davina's raw and powerful voice, backed by the Vagabonds' commanding instrumentation. It is a song that captures the essence of the romantic and mysterious allure of the full moon, and its ability to make us feel alive.

The wind blew up
The gust of wind rose high and strong
The wind blew down
The gust of wind fell low and light
On me
It happened to me, a personal experience
And my moon tonight
And it also happened tonight when the moon is out
The wind blew up up
The wind blew up high for the final time, isn't it magnificent?
The wind blew down down
The wind blew down gently for the final time, along with the moon tonight, isn't it magnificent?
Feel like going crazy
I feel like going wild, letting loose
With the moon in my hand
With the moon's power in my grasp
Nothing says it better like sugar moon
There's nothing quite like the magic of the moon
The fires out, the leaves are burnin under my feet
The flames have died, and I walk on burning leaves
In the still of the moon tonight
In the silence of the night when the moon reigns supreme
The smoke is choked up
The smoke is thick and heavy
My lips are turnin red n pink n blue from kissing you mister moon
My lips are tinged with different hues from kissing the moon
Nothing says it better like sugar moon
The moon is magical and there's nothing else like it
Isn't it grand?
Isn't it magnificent and grandiose?
Oh what a night I've got mister moon and he's humming my songs
What a magical night I have, the moon's power is in tune with my music
If I should die now before I wake
In case I die in my sleep
Bury me with my
When I die, I want to be buried with my
Bury me with my sugar moon high above medicine lake
I want to be buried with the moon up high above medicine lake
Feel like going crazy now
I feel like going wild and letting loose right now
Feel like going crazy
I feel like going wild and letting loose
Feel like going crazy now
I feel like going wild and letting loose right now
Feel like going crazy now
I feel like going wild and letting loose right now
Feel like going crazy
I feel like going wild and letting loose
Feel like going crazy now
I feel like going wild and letting loose right now

This really sticks with me. Her vibrato is infectious. Not to mention Connor, the man who taught me nearly everything I know about percussion, sweating hard for the craft he lives and dies by. There isn't enough music in the world like what D&tVbs puts together.
