My musical, Gypsy Dawn, begins as an old-fashioned operetta, and like all
operettas, it's about true love. Here is our hero singing of his longing for
the real thing. For the complete show, click on the moon below.
The Waters of the Moon
I dally with Hannah,
Make eyes at Brianna,
And fiddle with Angelu---
I trifle with Lena,
Make love to Serena,
But when it is through
I try to hide
Something lonely inside.My love
Is like the waters of the moon:
It gleams
Somewhere way above the sky.
My love
Is like a runaway balloon,
It's there
But we cannot see it fly.
I play at romance
But my heart isn't in it,
And I pray any minute
My one true love will appear.
And when she is here,
We'll be singing together
Some undiscovered tune,
And then we'll go sailing
On the waters of the moon.
The waters of the moon.
