NIGHT'S ONLY DAUGHTER
(Lunsford/Meltsner)

When the day is past
And the sun lies down the water
White moonflowers open
In the hands of the only daughter
Well she walks in the woods
Where the wild wind
Whistles through the leaves
And she sings a song
To the chattering birds in the trees

She says - I am the only daughter
Of a man and a woman and the sun
That sleeps on the water
Where I go the moon only knows
I...am the only daughter
When the night falls like a rain
She sits by a fire in the dark
And she sings a song
To the gentle wind lifting the sparks

She says - I am the only daughter
Of a man and a woman and the sun
That sleeps on the water
Where I go the moon only knows
I...am the only daughter

When the morning comes
And the sun lifts the dew from the grass
You might hear her run
But you will see no one on the path
But if you look long
Into the moonflowers as they're chased
You might hear a song
You might catch a glimpse of her face

She says - I am the only daughter
Of a man and a woman and the sun
That sleeps on the water
Where I go the moon only knows
I...am the only daughter
Of a man and a woman and the stars
That sleep on the water
Where I go the moon only knows
I...am the only daughter
