Moon‑Marketing
Language: English
Let's go to the market in the moon And buy some dreams together. Slip on your little silver shoon, And don your cap and feather. No need of petticoat or stocking. No one up there will think it shocking. Across the dew, Just I and you, With all the world behind us; Away from rules, Away from fools, Where nobody can find us. Let's go to the market in the moon And buy some dreams together.
