Friend
Tim Fite And Dr. Leisure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the world goes to sleep at night
I look out to the eastern sky
See the moon up high, with my telescopic eye
All the while, the Moon Friend he smiles
And there he stays until the break of day
And when he falls, I'm the saddest one of all
Yes when he dies falls from the sky, I will surely cry
When the sun drifts below the sky
Let the cosmic wonderland arise
See the curtain fall, with my telescopic eye
When the world reveals what lies behind
The blanket created by our minds
Reveals the truth of our microscopic lives
All the while, the Moon Friend he smiles
And there he stays until the break of day
And when he falls, I'm the saddest one of all
Yes when he dies falls from the sky, I will surely cry
When the darkness overruns the light
The color bleeds away from sight
See the moon arise in the stillness of the night
When the world goes to sleep at night
I look out to the eastern sky
See the moon up high with my telescopic eye
Hello Moon Friend, goodbye Moon Friend
Sing your song for me
Hello Moon Friend, goodbye Moon Friend
Sing your song for me
Hello Moon Friend, goodbye Moon Friend
Sing your song for me




Hello Moon Friend, goodbye Moon Friend
Sing your song for me

Line by Line Meaning

When the world goes to sleep at night
At night, when the world is peaceful and quiet


I look out to the eastern sky
I gaze toward the east, looking up to the sky


See the moon up high, with my telescopic eye
I use my telescope to observe the moon in the sky


All the while, the Moon Friend he smiles
Throughout the night, the moon seems to be happy and content


And there he stays until the break of day
The moon remains in the sky until the sun comes up


And when he falls, I'm the saddest one of all
When the moon sets, I feel a deep sadness


Yes when he dies falls from the sky, I will surely cry
If the moon were to suddenly disappear, I would be devastated


When the sun drifts below the sky
At sunset, when the sun sinks down below the horizon


Let the cosmic wonderland arise
Allow the magic and mystery of the universe to become apparent


See the curtain fall, with my telescopic eye
Watch as the night sky darkens and the stars come out


When the world reveals what lies behind
When we begin to see the truth behind our existence


The blanket created by our minds
The illusions and delusions we create to comfort ourselves


Reveals the truth of our microscopic lives
Shows us the harsh reality of our insignificant place in the universe


When the darkness overruns the light
As the night grows darker and the light fades away


The color bleeds away from sight
The vibrant colors of the world seem to disappear in the darkness


See the moon arise in the stillness of the night
Watch as the moon becomes visible again in the quiet darkness


Hello Moon Friend, goodbye Moon Friend
Greeting and saying farewell to the moon


Sing your song for me
The moon seems to be serenading the singer
