"BENEATH THE REEFER MOON"
Wendell Matthews

CHORUS:
A SWEET SMELL TRAVELS HIGH ON THE RIVER WIND
WHEN THE CROW BEGINS TO FLY HEADING HOME AGAIN
THE WHISTLING ON HIS WING
PLAYS A LONELY SAILOR'S TUNE
AND RIDES THE ROLLING WAVES
BENEATH THE REEFER MOON

V1:
A SEARCH GOES ON UNDYING
FOR A SPECIAL PLACE TO HIDE
ESCAPING FROM THE TROUBLES
AND THE TOWERS OF MANKIND
THE HORIZON BARES A BEACON
POINTING TO A SAFE LAGOON
WITH SECRETS STASHED IN SHADOWS
BENEATH THE REEFER MOON

CHORUS:
A SWEET SMELL TRAVELS HIGH ON THE RIVER WIND
WHEN THE CROW BEGINS TO FLY HEADING HOME AGAIN
THE WHISTLING ON HIS WING
PLAYS A LONELY SAILOR'S TUNE
AND RIDES THE ROLLING WAVES
BENEATH THE REEFER MOON

V2:
LOVE WILL SEEK THE PATH THAT FINDS
A MIRROR IN THE DARK
REFLECTIONS TO REVEAL
THE WAX AND WANING OF THE HEART
A WINE COLORED SKY BRINGING
WITH IT DARKNESS SOON
SHADING FIRES OF PASSION
BENEATH THE REEFER MOON

BRIDGE:
PROMISES OF RICHES
AND THE ONLY SOUL TO TRUST
IS A SPIRIT BOUND AND BUSTED
PACKING POCKETS FULL OF DUST

CHORUS:
A SWEET SMELL TRAVELS HIGH ON THE RIVER WIND
WHEN THE CROW BEGINS TO FLY HEADING HOME AGAIN
THE WHISTLING ON HIS WING
PLAYS A LONELY SAILOR'S TUNE
AND RIDES THE ROLLING WAVES
BENEATH THE REEFER MOON
RIDES THE ROLLING WAVES
BENEATH THE REEFER MOON
