Flaming June

reverse eclipse of the silver moon
comes too early; leaves too soon
can’t see the night—she’s too bright
Flaming June, Flaming June

her gown is flowing amber fire
this dream; a drugged desire
can’t see the night—she’s too bright
Flaming June, Flaming June

rock these fevered fears away
give me hope; it burns like day
can’t see the night—she’s too bright
Flaming June, Flaming June

reverse eclipse of the silver moon
comes too early; leaves too soon
can’t see the night—she’s too bright
Flaming June, Flaming June
