Edie Carey – Shepherd Moon lyrics

Album: The Falling Places

We've fallen in love
with distant lands
We've offered it up
with both hands
Though we've left
no frogs unkissed
I think there's something
that we've missed

We've read the self-help shelf
ten times over
We've worshipped gods
we can't name
And though we've combed the land for the four leaf clover
We've lost the pieces to the game

We're just looking
for a shepherd moon
That will let us go and just fall in
It won't let us stray or flee too soon
It'll just lead us back home again

We feed our kids
a balanced meal
We talk about
our feelings
With Supermom still
at the wheel
We're somehow left reeling

Somewhere in that ring of moons
I think something's awaiting us
Something simple
I hope something soon
Something that's gonna redeem us

We're just looking
for a shepherd moon
That will let us go and just fall in
It won't let us stray or flee too soon
It'll just lead us back home again

So no more serving our hearts
on silver platters
No more clinging to
the northern pole
We're finally gathering up
what's been scattered
We pledge allegiance to our souls

We're just looking
for a shepherd moon
That will let us go and just fall in
It won't let us stray or flee too soon
It'll just lead us back home again

Don't give me none of
your 800 numbers
You can keep your
money back guarantee
My neuroses just may be
the 8th wonder
But I'm happy to just let it be

Don't sell me none of
your psychic healing
Real healing doesn't grow on tv
Stop capitalizing on our feelings
Real healing is always free
