LYRICS - Sun Eclipsed by the Moon
by Laurie Raveis & Dennis Kole

Standing by the grey lakeside 
Rain drops accelerate 
Pitter patter taps amplify 
Ripples naturally overlap like our fate 

I lie down in the green wet grass
I gaze up at the sky
Remembering dreams of past
Cloud haze, desires float by 

Where has my family gone (Oh oh oh)
Where has my family gone 

I wander along the fog drenched trail
Stings and stains underfoot 
An endless quest for the holy grail
So easy to forget, so easy to overlook 

Where has my family gone (Oh Oh Oh)
Where has my family gone 

When the sun’s eclipsed by the moon
And I’m moving in darkness 
I’ve got to hold on by letting go 

And the wind sweeps like a heavy broom 
And I’m praying for catharsis 
I’ve got to hold on (Hold on) by letting go
(Letting go) Hold on (Hold On) by letting go (Letting go) 

Deplete of heat and energy
I’ve given all I have 
Cried and I tried some more
Aching for something back 

How do we heal a nation's scars carved in our hearts 
Head in the sand or stoking the flame I need a break and space
From self orbiting ones who claim the game and spin to win
Round they go and I’m reaching higher the best I can 

When the sun’s eclipsed by the moon (Sun eclipsed the moon)
And I’m moving in darkness  
I got to hold on (Hold on) by letting go (Letting go)  
And the wind sweeps like a heavy broom (Like a heavy broom)
And I’m praying for catharsis  
I got to hold on (Hold on) by letting go (Letting go)  

My nerves are split and frayed
Miss those I held as close
Miss those the most  
When my world is squeezed
Not much relief or release
Much drifts away and changes  
Who’s looking eye to eye  
Sees the laugh lines  
Hears the nuance of tone
Knows what it’s like to be alone
And reaches out anyway  
To try again  
And I’m waiting for a time
Knowing time is scarce
And space is vast  

Ash and Dust
Dust of stars
Stardust  

When the sun’s eclipsed by the moon (Sun eclipsed the moon)
And I’m moving in darkness  
I got to hold on (Hold on) by letting go (Letting go)  

And the wind sweeps like a heavy broom (Like a heavy broom)
And I’m praying for catharsis  
I got to hold on (Hold on)
by letting go (Letting go)  
I’ve got to hold on (Hold on)
by letting go (Letting go)  
By letting go

GW premieres Sun Eclipsed by the Moon

"Raveis Kole's new psychedelic folk single “Sun Eclipsed by the Moon”. This
entrancing and melancholy song is a meditative journey
through the landscape of the pandemic times: disparate politics, the horrors of war, particularly the war in Ukraine, and a
longing to connect with people again on a human level.
Through finger-picked guitars, soothing drones and Raveis' angelic voice, they acknowledge that we're all just stardust—lucky to be here at all, sharing this planet, at the same time."
