No Moon Lyrics
Black dog bit through the keeper's chain
Small and angry when the Devil came
Sold my soul like a pocket knife
There was no moon, there'll be no milk as sweet
Tomcat curled on a rabbit cage
Brittle fingers in the potter's clay
Sold my soul and I laid her down
There was no moon, there'll be no milk as sweet
Blue bird laughs on a fallen tree
Sunset burns on a quiet sea
Sold my soul and they ran me down
There was no moon, there'll be no milk as sweet
Small and angry when the Devil came
Sold my soul like a pocket knife
There was no moon, there'll be no milk as sweet
Brittle fingers in the potter's clay
Sold my soul and I laid her down
There was no moon, there'll be no milk as sweet
Sunset burns on a quiet sea
Sold my soul and they ran me down
There was no moon, there'll be no milk as sweet

awesome.
do you think there might be some link between these lines of "No Moon"...what could they mean in sam's lyrics.... I'd just love to open sam's brain and see what's inside(figuratively speaking)... he just uses some amazing imagery
I think he uses a lot of the same imagery to symbolize different things... this song I think is about a loss of innocence. "Sold my soul like a pocket knife".... "Sold my soul and I laid her down"... and then the line "There'll be no milk as sweet", like it can't ever be as good as that first time. Just my thoughts.
As the song progresses, the imagery he uses to describe himself becomes both freer and less arrogant- dog to tom cat to bird- and happier as well.
This lends the feeling that the singer is undergoing some kind of journey. It's most likely the progression of his life, as he becomes more world-weary and wise.
