China Moon

Beautiful China Moon

In China Moon there is a clock whose hands never go round

Because the day stands still at one, until the sun goes down

In China Moon there lives a girl whom none will ever marry

Until a boy brings a cherry stone that was never in a cherry

Beautiful China Moon

Beautiful China Moon

In China Moon there is a land between the stream and shore

And the girl who lives in China Moon builds mansions there and more

Licorice sticks grow in the grass pollinated by the bees

In China Moon diamonds grow like apples in the trees

Beautiful China Moon

Beautiful China Moon

In China Moon there is a tree a hundred miles around

Each branch a boat that never sailed except above the ground

The girl who comes from China Moon lives away up high

And turns her face from those below and always to the sky

Beautiful China Moon
