Just the fact that you made a song about Harpo confirms that you are my all-time favorite lyristocrat. (a new word just for this occasion)
I was Harpo for Halloween in a few years ago. I was told I played Harpo to a T (or an H for that matter). I did every gag I could think of, never said a word, it was my most favorite costume of all time!
I had a blast!
Thanks again for all the really great shows, Jonathan!.
Happy tour to you and yours.
Love and light, Anahita

At The Waning Of The Moon                Words & Music By David Virgin


At the waning of the moon my true love said to me, don't say sorry for something that you meant to do, you liar go to hell.
If you've got a republic in your heart, better get a congress in your mind.
Oh my lover is wise and true to all she is.
And at the waning of the moon, my lover said to me, darling I'll be with you soon, soon as I can be.
At the waning of the moon my true love gave to me, she gave me oranges and pears for the fever in my head.
She said don't go to the house where the sinners go to pray, for the devil lives beneath the boards, wherever weak souls congregate.
And at the waning of the moon, my lover said to me, darling I'll be with you soon, soon as I can be.
And at the waning of the moon, my true love came to me, she gave me oranges and pears, for the fever in my head.
