Through bleary eyes I see the touch light

Beyond the panes I sense a danger

There's silhouettes of a hundred people

My Sister Moon would reveal no stranger

Collect my mantel, collect my senses

I must away, slip into the dark night

Would they go I should sleep till sunrise

And with the day there would be some respite



Fly, sister, fly

Into the dark night that loves you

Into the darkness

Let not their eyes catch your shining



Out the door and into the night air

Oh, sweet Moon, don't betray your sister now

Across the fields not a glance behind me

The din so loud they must be upon me

Away, away and away and away now

Fast as the wind, just as fast as the Hare now

Where I a cat I would not act fearfully

Those stumbling men would be no match for me



Must catch my breath, must not let them hear me

Though my heart is so loud it would deafen me

Now a shout they must know where I lie

So to my feet and again I must fly

Rush through the trees, the thorn, the bramble

While high above an owl flies carefree

Why be I here, I should be beside him

Ere will I go, they'd expect it of me
