see the moon

did you see the moon last night?
it was here between the trees
it was up there in the sky
up above the underground
up above the danube bridge
in a tree in our backyard
after dinner with some friends
did you see the moon last night?
did it mean something to you
did you ever feel at home
when you saw the moon was full?
did it make you think of friends
think of what you left behind
it was rather cold last night
we saw the moon a year ago
from our balcony in beijing
guess we'll see it here next year
did you see the moon last night?
we are somewhere in between
