'Men And Moons' Lyrics

What’s to tell of men and moons
As Januarys melt to Junes
As shadows lengthen afternoons
Rising, falling men and moons

Life will come and life will go
With nothing at the end to show
For Sound and fury, rivers flood
To wash the field of battle’s blood

Through lying oaths and hollow speech
And steel that pierces, each to each
Protect the faeries, shield the crown
And plant our hearts in sacred ground

Aid my voice and aid my love
Turn mine eyes to stars above
Guard my journey through the night
And keep for me a guiding light

Bless this land to which we’re bound
By gravity of joyful sound
Feed the hearth and feed the herd
Hope must stand on every word

What’s to tell of men and moons
As Januarys melt to Junes
As shadows lengthen afternoons
Rising, falling, men and moons
Waxing, waning, men and moons
Rising, falling, men and moons


With a quarter million miles under her belt and counting, North Carolina native Emily Scott Robinson travels the dusty highways of America's wild country, capturing the stories of the people she meets and expertly crafting them into songs. Robinson received critical acclaim for her debut album Traveling Mercies-- Rolling Stone named it one of the “40 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2019.” In 2021, Robinson signed with Oh Boy records, the label founded by the legendary John Prine, and released her follow-up album American Siren. It made numerous “Best of 2021” lists including NPR, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, and No Depression. In 2022, Robinson released a collaboration for theater called Built on Bones, a song cycle written for the Witches of Shakespeare's Macbeth, featuring artists Alisa Amador and Violet Bell.
