Candyfloss Moon (Yakamoz Moon)
Here’s another old song that my band The Lucies used to gig, mixed last Wednesday. I’ve no idea what it’s about””I was in a “special state of mind” when I wrote it. “Yakamoz” is a Turkish word which is used when the moonlight shines on the sea, ocean etc.
Candyfloss moon
there is only half an hour til daybreak
You leave me too soon
Stay a while and I’ll watch your heart break
Through all the tears and the rage
This is our golden age
Through the silver rain
I see you wax and wane
Candyfloss moon
I’ve been torn apart and reassembled
Here in this room
I can see the stars that you resemble
Turn off your mind
turn down your radio
I hear angels singing all the time
Shut down your shadow
slow down your heartbeat
Why do your eyes shine?
Yakamoz moon
I see you glow on tranquil seas
Your flowers are in bloom
lilies, fuchsia, rosemary
