about

Possibly our most regularly played live song, Ring Around The Moon is about not just enjoying what you have while it's there, but not even thinking about looking back when it's not anymore because you know you're so much better off for the experience! I really wish I could listen to my advice a little better...

But point being - any loss you have is actually a gain from before the whole experience happened. You've only gained, I swear.

lyrics

Seriously, it's cool, I never wanted to marry you.
But that doesn't mean in any way, I wasn't impressed when you threw your fishnet stockings away,
and gave your skinny legs to the cold and to the sea,
and then you let them share with me, the you I'd never known and still don't know,
the stringbean that made the garden grow,
and now, thanks be to you, this old song I know...

that if you see a ring around the moon
don't close your eyes or you might sleep
'till noon and miss the major peeps
the sky is high and so you could be soon
don't look away from the ring around the moon inside the sky above the you!

and if you see the sunrise shine the sky
don't be afraid of going blind
gaze lazily until you find
the colors that might hurt your little eyes
they live inside your smile so wide under the sun the only one in the sky

they say live everyday like it's your last
which i do believe
but what i can't conceive
is just the thing i need
it's looking back upon the day that passed
and having no desire to go back in time and make that moment last!
