More from the pen of the wonderful Kev Carmody. I was reminded by Amergin's 2013 post in the currently resurrected thread "A Last Song Circle for Katlaughing" :
MOONSTRUCK
Kev Carmody
When the western sky’s ablaze
And the sun lays down to rest
When the curlew starts to cry
And the birds fly home to roost
When the full moon begins to rise
Satin moon beams on my face
Beauty of the night goes far beyond
Far beyond both time and place
[Chorus]
No-one’s lost who finds the moon
Or the sweetness of the wattle’s bloom
Rebirth with the rain in spring
Or the dingo’s howl on the autumn wind
Spirit of the moon here calls me home
Spirit of the moon here guides me home
Moon it draws me to the scrub
Night voices raised in song
Past the water lilies bloom
In that tranquil billabong
Walkin’ on the shadowed leaves
That are reflected by the moon
To the rocks and hills an’ caves
Where the dingo’s pups are born
No one's lost who finds the moon
Or the sweetness of the wattle's bloom
Rebirth with the rain in spring
Dingo's howl on the autumn wind
Spirit of the moon here calls me home, whoa
Spirit of the moon here guides me home
Stars ablazin’ across the sky
In the brilliance of the Milky Way
I’m surrounded by the beauty
Of every night and every day
Walkin’ towards that morning moon set
Caress of moonlight on my skin
Knowin’ that freedom of not carin’
Of why I’m goin’ or where I’ve been
No one's lost who finds the moon
Or the sweetness of the wattle's bloom
Rebirth with the rain in spring
Dingo's howl on the autumn wind
Spirit of the moon here calls me home, whoa
Spirit of the moon here guides me home
