Song information
A song like this s one of the most meaningful for me because of the way it comes together. It happened like this:

My friend Mari Foster - who is an amazing artist and one of my most favorite human beings on this planet - messaged me a photo she took at a cypress brake outside of town. It showed the Moon shining through the branches of a cypress tree and she said the phrase "Cypress Moon" came to mind. I read it, saw the photo and five minutes later I had about 95 percent of this song written. The photo is the one I used with the songs art.

The other thing that makes a song like this fun is when I started writing it, I had firmly fixed in my mind the style and sound. Once I started recording, however, the song had its own ideas about how it was going to sound and I'm very happy with how it turned out.

So, while you're listening to this, just imagine you're out on a cool Southern winter night - sitting beneath the cypress trees and watching the full Moon - stretched out on the hood of your old Ford pickup with someone special laying right beside you.

And thank you, Mari, for the inspiration!

Lyrics
Winter days go by so fast
but winter nights are made to last
we watch the moon shine so bright

We don’t feel the chill around
as we walk along familiar ground
until we’re bathed in the silver light

Then we dance so slowly
as the night unfolds around us
underneath the starry winter sky

Cypress moon come shining down
as we make our way out of town
to sit beneath the branches of your light

Feel the cold winds blowing
while all the time we’re knowing
the Cypress Moon looks down on us tonight

The silver moon is climbing high
now it’s time to say goodbye
and go inside where it’s warm and dry

And while the moon is flying free
we’ll always have the memory
of the cypress moon sharing its light

Then we dance so slowly
as the night unfolds around us
underneath the starry winter sky

Cypress moon come shining down
as we make our way out of town
to sit beneath the branches of your light

Feel the cold winds blowing
while all the time we’re knowing
the Cypress Moon looks down on us tonight

For me, this evokes the spirit of "Harvest Moon" while very much being its own thing. Very enjoyable
