High moon I said High moon lighted High moon eye To my moon
Your age will most probably Carry away the letters enveloped in carrion Vague unpleasantries of the war May your son's progenitorship Of the state haphazardly help him to carry on God send your son safe home to you
High Moon You're eye To my moon

All the members of Grizzly Bear have said Van Dyke Parks was a huge influence on Yellow House. I wonder if this song was the direct inspiration for “Little Brother”:
Wide eyed and up in arms, my little brother was a solemn one
He always had his quiet corner
Pride of my countrymen, my little brother will be born again
Just give us back our quiet corner
Now go back to the other side of my bed
I’ll go back to the place where you get started
And I’ll sleep, just put the pillows under my head
