This song is available on Jeff Wolin's In Your Backyard.

New moon’s invisible to your eye
'Cause it’s so close to the sun up in the sky
Then a sliver appears growin’ day by day
The 1st quarter moon is on its way

Chorus:
New moon, 1st quarter, full moon, last quarter
New moon, 1st quarter, full moon, last quarter

The one night it finally shows
A great big ball, the full moon glows
But just like a song, that soon fades away
It’s down to last quarter the moon’s final phase

And when the moon has circled around
We’ve seen how it’s grown and then shrunk back down
And as we’ve watched a full month has gone by
So look out your window and up in the sky

Chorus:
New moon, 1st quarter, full moon, last quarter
New moon, 1st quarter, full moon, last quarter
