Watch the new moon rising on the crest of the hill. (Jerry)

You made me look twice, Jerry, and I don't mean the point the other guy meant. If I am not very much mistaken, the new moon (up to a couple of days old) always rises at day time when the sun is already out. At night time, the new moon goes down, doesn't it? Daytime rising of the moon can be watched, of course, but even if hard pressed I can't recollect any 'rising of the moon' song describing day time.

Either you have actually meant in that song the rising of the moon at daytime or you have described something which no man's eye has ever seen or I am mistaken.
