American singer-songwriterDar Williams lives at the intersection of popand folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade. Her most recent studio album, "My Better Self," finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.

Calling The Moon Lyrics
Dar Williams
The moon wanted more of my night
I turned off the engine and the headlights
The trees appeared as theyd never been gone
I promised the fields Id return from now on
And the moon kept on rising
I had no more to say
I put my roadmaps away
And surrendered the day
And I know youll be calling me soon
And if I dont answer Im calling the moon
Calling the moon
I was calling her then
Im wondering will she take me again
Oh, I am calling the moon
When I called the moon back to me
I thought she wanted my beauty
I shone in the best that vanity buys
I covered the path where my life turned to lies
And the moon kept on rising
But I felt nothing at all
She comes when the empire falls
And shines on crumbling walls
Calling the moon
By the name that she chose
As tennessee wandered in moth-eaten robes
Oh, I am calling the moon
Calling the moon
Oh Im calling the moon
Oh, make sense of me, night
I can see so much from this cold height
The moon said oh darkness my work is done
Ive poured this bottle of light from the sun
But their anger keeps on rising
And they dont understand
Ive shown them all that I can
That the world is at hand
And I know theyll be calling me soon
And if I dont answer Im only the moon
I can see by her light
This ones going out to the moon tonight
Oh, I am calling the moon
Calling the moon
cause I know what its worth
To tug at the seas and illumine the earth
Oh, I am calling the moon
Oh, I am calling the moon
