No Moon in the Water

Song No Moon in the Water
Artist Peter Hammill
Album Out of Water

Lyrics

So
if it's just so then
where is it now when
I find the moment
uncertain?
Broken water pail –
no moon in the water,
try to hold it now.
So
I want to hold on
reflection's all gone,
no ego – so.
Broken water pail –
no moon in the water,
try to hold it now,
broken water pail,
hold me in the moment,
no more ego now.
I would
drink the dregs of daylight,
break the bread of consciousness
and dream:
dream day for night,
nightfall around us,
waking, dreaming,
awake to the dream.
Broken water pail –
no moon in the water,
try to hold it now,
hold me in the moment,
no more ego now,
no moon in the water,
no more ego now.

Pinyin

So
if it' s just so then
where is it now when
I find the moment
uncertain?
Broken water pail
no moon in the water,
try to hold it now.
So
I want to hold on
reflection' s all gone,
no ego so.
Broken water pail
no moon in the water,
try to hold it now,
broken water pail,
hold me in the moment,
no more ego now.
I would
drink the dregs of daylight,
break the bread of consciousness
and dream:
dream day for night,
nightfall around us,
waking, dreaming,
awake to the dream.
Broken water pail
no moon in the water,
try to hold it now,
hold me in the moment,
no more ego now,
no moon in the water,
no more ego now.
