Lyrics: 
I could be your bluebird but I'm not going to fly
I could be your playboy but I've got no bow and tie
I could be the sun shining in your eyes
I could be your gentle side, but I think I'd have to lie

I'm like the shoes you bought but you never wear
I'm like those maps you read but never understand
We sit in the afternoon, we speak but never share
I'm not going to try to make you understand

You're fading in the light
My throat is getting tight
Will you hold me one more time
Because you're fading in the light

Say that you made plans, it won't change this time
Moving down the east coast, some where in North Carolina
There's a chance of some work there, your cousin told you so
When I look into your eyes, I know that ain't so

I could be your bluebird but I'm not going to fly
I could be your playboy but I've got no bow and tie
I could be the sun shining in your eyes
I could be your gentle side, but I think I'd have to lie

You're fading in the light
My throat is getting tight
Will you hold me one more time
Because you're fading in the light

Fading In The Light

Words and Music by Peasant Moon 2015

Recorded by Brian Campeau at The Plex Recording Studio in Sydney, Australia

Lyrics: 
No one lays alone, no one stays at home
Took some good advice, always hold the dice

Heard you on the phone, had to fake the tone
Making plans to claim, meeting in the rain

What you got going?
Is it all in my head?

Followed you last night, drove over the rise
Not in class no more, saw you go through his door

My mind's like a maze, running every play
so I pack my bags, leaving in the haze

No one lays alone
No one stays at home
Took some good advice, always hold the dice

Release Date:  1 June 2015

No One Lays Alone

A head in the hands and heart on the sleeve unrequited love song where endless south australian roads are the only antidote

Leaving Tonight

Words and Music by Peasant Moon 2017

Recorded by Michael Carpenter at Love Hz Recording Studio in Sydney, Australia

Lyrics: 
I hold the mirror up to the light
It only reveals those tired eyes
Well, I guess it's over 'cause you're not making my tea tonight
Well, alright

Now I walk that long hallway
And I feel alone
Empty bottles, black markers as I make my way home
You made me feel better, now I'm helpless, cold and stoned and low 

Wish I could go back in time tonight
Show you who I meant to be
Wish I could go back in time tonight
There's no way I'd let you go free

Never used to miss breakfast, now I'm lucky to lunch
Get no sleep on the weekend, trying to roll with the punch
There's lights and there's colour, they're too much but there's nothing at all
An empty form

Wish I could go back in time tonight
Show you who I meant to be
Wish I could go back in time tonight
There's no way I'd let you go free

Release Date: 14 February 2017

Back in Time

Back In Time

New five track EP Our Timing Was Wrong from Sydney/Chicago alt-country duo Peasant Moon. Recorded at Love Hz Studio in the inner west of Sydney, with producer Michael Carpenter, the EP finds the duo building on their sound with the successful addition of a full band on most tracks. Aaron Langman (pedal steel, electric guitar), Jonathan Kelly (bass) and Rich Burrows(drums) formed the core band for the recordings, with Carpenter providing additional electric guitar, hammond organ and double bass on the song ‘Party’.

Our Timing Was Wrong

We've played this track in various forms since our days in the Harvey Swagger Band.  This version is the best representation of how we were performing it live in 2017.

Daniel Romano is one of our favourite artists, we loved including this song in our live set.
