House On The Moon (Bed In The Sea)
©Jerry Axson

The house that I live in is as cold as the moon,
there is no air to breathe and it's falling soon,
the silence makes my lungs collapse,
life in a vacuum perhaps...
You dare not a sound in our house on the moon,
lay quiet and still on the bed - light will come soon,
the weight that presses down on you,
there's not a thing that you can do,

It's easy to leave you I'll just walk away,
easy to forget simply broaden the base,
easy to make love you just sample and swoon,
but what do you do when you're house is on the moon?

The bed that we sleep in is as wide as the sea,
it's violent and cold at times - crashing over me,
and I believe this ship is adrift,
something wrong, we won't admit,
You dare not a move on our bed in the sea,
for fear of a ripple that will drown us eventually,
they say it's a lot like falling asleep,
there is no pain and you don't weep,

It's easy to leave you I'll just walk away,
easy to forget simply broaden the base,
easy to make love you just smile and tease,
but what do you do when you're bed is in the sea?

about

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
