"Quarter Moon" by Cheryl Wheeler (Cheryl Wheeler)

1st Verse

And they seem to know each other very well
They speak across the garden
But not a soul could tell
They can read the summer sky
And they can hear the back brook swell
And they seem to know each other very well

2nd Verse

And they drive up north on Sunday afternoons
And he buys her wooden windmills
And whales and quarter moons
She feeds the birds all winter
And she knows them by their tunes
And they drive up north on Sunday afternoons

Chorus

And all summer long
They make the garden grow
And keep the green so strong
Oh, wish them well
For standing on their own

3rd Verse

And they buried their old dog in their backyard
With a fence and plastic roses
And Saint Francis standing guard
She speaks of him quite often
To this day she takes it hard
And they buried their old dog in their backyard

4th Verse

And she brings me plants and flowers all the time
And we dig the holes together
She has to help with mine
And when she pats the soil around them
Oh my God, her eyes can shine
She brings me plants and flowers all the time

(Repeat Chorus)

5th Verse

And they speak about their lives as almost gone
Waiting for the sunset
From an old and distant dawn
Selling off the land except the part they're living on
And they speak about their lives as almost gone

(Repeat 1st Verse)
