Venus Moonrise (Music & Lyrics by Lindsey Boise) My baby plays deep undercover. She warms the rivers for her tea. She laughs a bit at the word lover. My baby, she’s the word to me. And she can’t stomach all the splashing we have to do just to survive. She turns the waves into a mesa. My baby dreams the countryside. And at night, fire light. It doesn’t matter what we say, and it don’t matter what we do. ‘Cause we can’t stop the moon that’s rising under shade. She does a dodge and then a flip. And she does it all for love. It cripples me. It grows and grows. It doesn’t matter what we say, and it don’t matter what we do. ‘Cause we can’t stop the moon that’s rising under shade. It rains so thick when she’s around me. The forests wither when she’s gone. So we’ll swim under the moonlight, riding bubbles ‘til the dawn. Under shade.
