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
