Standing in a crater in my leaden shoes

I am held here by more than gravity

She's been hit so many times with heavenly abuse

Quite a history of catastrophe

But the footprints on her face are merely made by man

She is shining despite the rough terrain

I think she picks her teeth with the staff of a flag

She plucked from her teeth with playful disdain 



Glowing survivor

Gorgeous in orbit

Throwing a spotlight

Over the chasm

Glowing survivor

Gorgeous in orbit

Over the sea ("Heavens" @ end) 



Geological samples held up to the light

Teach very little of her life

Astronomer's deny what they can divine

By merely gazing up into her eyes

Every lunar cycle she begins anew

Not afraid to show herself in full

The man is a myth

Lovers share the view

All God's howling dogs to her are dutiful 



If you come at nightfall

You can see all her magnitude

Her tidal tears have fallen

Reflective of the sun

Beaming her gratitude
