The Moon and the Sea

Poet: Jethro Compton Music: Darren Clark Producer: Darren Clark/Luke Swaffield/Mark Aspinall It's a nice evenin' I love it on a clear night when you can see the face of the man in the moon I love the way his light touches the sea Now there's a thought I wonder What if the moon were To sing to the sea What would his song be? Perhaps he'd sing: "Ooh, how you shimmer and shine far below How rare are your rock pools that glimmer and glow" Or maybe he'd just stay silent and still Maybe The moon and the sea Or I wonder What if the sea were To sing to the moon too What would her song say? Perhaps she'd sing: "Stop all your glowin', you're shinin' too bright And the light from your face keeps me up ev'ry night" Or maybe her teasin' is hidin' her heart Maybe The moon and the sea It is a nice evenin' Shouldn't you be spendin' it with someone your own age? Have you ever met a man my age? Men in their twenties are so overconfident In their thirties they're all knackered from overwork In their forties they're all worried about turning fifty In their sixties they're, bleh, they’re pretty much seventy But men in their fifties... But I wonder What if the moon were To fall for the sea What could the moon do? For no matter the hope hidin' inside his heart The moon and the sea are just too far apart So he's destined to dream in that sky high above But maybe Maybe What if the moon and the sea were in love? And upon the horizon, those lovers were free Each evenin' the moon would come down to the sea Then supposin' the moon saw the opportune tide But the moment to draw the sea close to his side Then maybe he'd kiss her under his light I probably should be gettin' back inside Oh of course Good night, Just Benjamin Good night, Elowen I wonder What if the moon were In love with the sea Vocals: Clare Foster/John Dagleish Ensemble: Cast of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
