                             Moon???

Have you ever been to a part of the world 
Where people don't believe in the Moon  
And saying that you've seen it brings howls of cruel laughter?
Where the silvery light shining in the night
Is a thing that defies explanation
And the tides are caused by the breathing of the oysters?  

Have you ever been to a part of the world 
Where people don't believe in the Sun
And everyone is acting just like it wasn't shining?  
Where to walk down the road in the midday heat
You are careful to carry a lantern,
Or you have to move as if stumbling in the darkness?

Have you ever been to a part of the world 
Where people don't believe in the Moon  
And people that've seen it are locked up in the nut house?  
Where the young lovers go out beside the sea
And they watch the reflections of nothing,
And they never talk about what they think they see there?  

Have you ever been to a part of the world 
Where people don't believe in the rain  
But keep on getting wet without any earthly reason?  
Where you go with your friends for a picnic lunch
While you fear what you'd better not mention,
And it's just delusions you have to come in out of?

Have you ever been to a part of the world 
Where people don't believe 
In love???
