Lyrics

[Verse 1] Zoom, zooom, cuddle and croon Over the crinkling sea The moon man brings them silver necklace Fashioned of moonbeams three [Verse 2] Some folks say when the net lies long The midnight hour is right The moon man fishes for some old song That fell from a sailor's pipe [Verse 3] Some folks say when he fishes the bars Down where the dead ships lie Looking for lost little baby stars That split from a slippery sky [Chorus] And the waves roll out, and the waves roll in A nodding night wind blows Why the moon man fishes the sea Only the moon man knows [Verse 4] Zoom, zoom, net of the moon Rides on the wrinkling sea Right is the fret, and shining wet Fashioned of moonbeams three [Verse 5] Some folks say when the great net gleams And the waves are a dusky blue The moon man fishes for two little dreams He lost when the world was new [Verse 6] Some folks say in the late night hours While the long fin shadows slide The moon man fishes for the cold flowers Under the tumbling tide [Chorus] And the waves roll out and the waves roll in The grey gulls dip and dove Why the moon man fishes the sea Only the moon man knows [Verse 7] Zoom, zoom, cuddle and croon Over the crinkling sea The moon man brings him a silver net Fashioned of moonbeams three [Verse 8] Some folks say while the salt sea foams The silver net lie ensnared The moon man fishes for the carving combs That slipped from the mermaid's hair [Chorus] And the waves roll out and the waves roll in A nodding night wind blows Why the moon man fishes the sea Only the moon man knows
