Moontime
You’re a ghost of my weekend, baby
Haunting me while I’m sleeping
Humming in my throat all day and
Night
You’re most of what I’m thinking baby
Though the time with you is shrinkin’
Don’t you worry about me I’ll be
Alright
Every little laugh with you
A soundtrack to our double view
Soft mementoes that I plan to keep
You’ll be floating by
Steal a song but don’t stay long
Everybody’s got to sing one sometime
Where’d you learn to fly?
From a ghost or a spaceman?
Everybody stops to watch you go by
You’re running on Moontime tonight
You’ve been bouncing in and out now, baby
In the quiet and the loud now
Minute here and minute there now can’t you
Stay?
Just a little I won’t keep you baby
Just a minute, then to sleep through
After all, you’re gonna be gone any
Day
Then you’ll drift out to the black
And who knows if you’re coming back?
Before you go, I gotta say goodbye, cause
You’ll be floating by
Steal a song but don’t stay long
Everybody’s got to sing one sometime
Where’d you learn to fly?
From a ghost or a spaceman?
Everybody stops to watch you go by
When you’re running on Moontime tonight
Yeah, you’re running on Moontime tonight
Every time I am around you
I see the light and hear the sound you
Spin into a story
Every time I think I miss you
Need a drink or need a tissue
I stay down and
You leave the ground and
You’ll be floating by
Steal a song but don’t stay long
Everybody sings one sometime
Where’d you learn to fly?
From a ghost or a spaceman?
Everybody stops to watch you go by
You’re running on Moontime tonight
Yeah, you’re running on Moontime tonight
You’re running on Moontime tonight
Postcard from the Moon
I’ve been good
How about you?
It’s been a while
So crack a smile,
Sail through
Make the talk
As she’s walking down the aisle
Get sentimental
The further on I get
The people that I’ve met
The things I thought were here to stay
Sail on through to live another day
We were kids
When we met
I remember every little moment
The things we did
The things you said
Now who’d have thought
You really meant ‘em?
The longer that we live
The stronger signs you give
The weaker memory’s hold on me
Box it up and send it back to me
And I’ll send a postcard from the moon up here
I hope it makes it to you soon, my dear
It’s coming on a falling star
Just wait a bit it’s not too far
Send one back with a balloon
Here’s my postcard from the moon
I wrote about
The way it looks
It’s pale as ghosts
But somehow the most
Beautiful
Just like you
I suppose there’s something there
Some kind of meaning
The longer that I’m here
Above the atmosphere
The lonelier it gets to be
So look up from your window
And think of me
So I’ll just send a postcard from the moon up here
I hope it makes it to you soon, my dear
It’s coming on a falling star
Just wait a bit it’s not too far
Send one back with your balloon
Here’s my postcard from the moon
Like a Rainy Day
I find this life so strange
To what can I compare it?
And when the winds bring change
It's like a rainy day
The more I am with you
I like the winds quite better
But we're just passing through
Like a rainy day
Like a rainy day
Do you watch the cloudy tumble?
Can you stand to see the sight at all?
Let's sit out on the rooftop staring
Watching droplets start to fall on us
Rain can wash away the stagnant rust
Rainy hour come fall on us
I wonder if you know
The starlets on your eyebrows
Make me think of wind and snow
Like a rainy day
Let's hear our favorite song
It’s playing on the stereo
But I know it won't last long
Like a rainy day
Like a rainy day
Do you watch the cloudy tumble?
Can you stand to see the sight at all?
Let's sit out on the rooftop staring
Watching droplets start to fall on us
Rain can wash away the stagnant rust
Rainy hour come fall on us
Moonlight Memories
Half a mile till I get home
I've been talking on the phone with God
He tells me "watch the road"
Is long that I've been on
Every turn and every song I know
And just when I get home
I think
”Did I swim or sink?”
Spent a week without my me
Wondered if perhaps I'd see
What life would be like with a
Different choice just here or there
Slept inside a rocking chair for years
I touched your hair with tears
For past
And for dreams that didn't last
”Why'd you bring me here?”
I'm asking toward the sky, it's been so clear
Bathing in the moonlight and the memories
Say a prayer and add a “please”
For someone lost out here
Everywhere I've ever been
I've seen a face that wasn't friend or love
Something like a girl
You'd see at city parks
A man who sleeps in noisy dark outside
Asking for a ride
I'd give
And if I did
He'd live
”Why'd you bring me here?”
I'm asking toward the sky, it's been so clear
Bathing in the moonlight and the memories
Say a prayer and add a “please”
For someone lost out here
Two sins I know
One will leave, one grow
You aren't the star, but you glow
”Why'd you bring me here?”
I'm asking toward the sky, it's been so clear
Bathing in the moonlight and the memories
Say a prayer and add a “please”
For someone lost out here
Moonbeams
In between the glances
And every heart you steal
In between the dances
And the moonbeams on your heel
There’s a silent glow
Follows you around
Call it magic or prestige, I know
You can’t see it anyhow
But every time I meet you
It’s like the very first time
And when it’s time to leave you, darling
You know I leave a lot behind
Cause all the things you are
Came into their own
Things from near and things from far, I know
Lifting off the ground
In between the smiles
And after all the laughs
In between the miles
And way you walk right past
I can tell you know
Things you’ll never tell
I’ll just leave it and I’ll go, farewell
It’s really been quite swell
I guess this is farewell
Feels Like Spring
You say your prayers, and I'll say mine
What else is left for us to do?
All our secrets will be lost in time
Whoever needs to know the truth?
And when the lights go out in space
Snuffed out one by one
I'll bring them back just to see your face
One last time in the sun
A day or two between us feels like light years to me
The way you look tonight outshines the stars I see
And thaws out all the words I can't make myself sing
Oh, it may be winter but tonight it feels like spring
You looking up from the passenger seat
I see you smiling there at me
Our hearts speed up and play that beat
Our song we love to sing
A day or two between us feels like light years to me
The way you look tonight outshines the stars I see
And thaws out all the words I can't make myself sing
Oh, it may be winter but tonight it feels like spring
Another month and you'll share my name
I didn’t need it all anyway
I asked you once if you would play my game
And now I think I know what you’re gonna say
A day or two between us feels like light years to me
The way you look tonight outshines the stars I see
And thaws out all the words that I can't make myself sing
Oh, it may be winter but tonight it feels like spring
Oh, it may be winter but tonight it feels like spring
Storyteller
Stars are passing by in molten color
And all the lives I thought I lived begin to slip away
Far away the song turns to another
D.J. plays our favorite tune and paints a pretty smile across our faces
Traces of our joy
Slither away
And someone in the darkness
Paints a picture of this moment of this day
Read a book and give away the ending
Candlelight in winter night pursues my moonlit dreams
Minutes, days or years we have been spending
Listening to the stories that we loved when we were kids and so we listen
Glisten in the night
The warmth they bring
The storyteller binds us
And solemnly remind us
That we are meant to sing
Sing
“Ooh”
Next to You
Whenever I needed you most
You simply retreated, engrossed
In all of the thoughts from the day
What can I say now?
What am I to do?
Except come on home, baby
And lay on down right next to you
“What if I'm one of God's rebels?”
“What if I can't be redeemed?”
All of them things I've been thinking
Don't mean a thing,
They don’t mean a thing
But I know this feeling too well
I know where it's leading, this spell
Is one that is hard to escape
But I'm doing great now
What am I to do?
Except come on home, baby
And lay on down right next to you
“What if I'm not who they tell me?”
“What if I'm not what I seem?”
All of them things I've been thinking
Don't mean a thing,
They don’t mean a thing
What If, What If
A little melody
That makes you dwell on me my love
Is all I want baby, don’t ya?
Someday I hope you'll see
The stuff that you and me are of
Like a glove, but
The stars just ain't aligning
And the night is awfully blue
I tell you that
The way I've handled things lately,
I keep coming back to you
A little harmony
A little symphony at night
The firelight baby makes the
Contours of your face
A quiet hiding place, just right
But just at night, when
The moon is up and howling
And nostalgia floods our minds
I tell you that the way I've handled things lately,
I think that I'll be just fine
So float me on through
Though old and new
When all the days turn into nights
The moon is bright and blue
Don't forget about
The jokes we shared
And the crying too
Don't count me out with all that we've been through
But if the “what if” stays “what if”
Well, that's alright
I took you out to swim
I took you for a spin before
Nothing more, baby, but
We talked a while too
And then I walked you to your door
I can't ignore
All the ways that I've been feeling
Well have you ever felt them too?
I tell you with the way I'm feeling things lately,
I think I'll have to make a move
So float me on through
It's all brand new
When all the days turn into nights
And the moon is bright and blue
Don't forget about
The jokes we shared
And the long drives too
Don't count me out with all that we've been through
And if the ‘what if” stays “what if”
I’m dreaming of one kiss
Well if the “what if” stays “what if”
That's alright
Little Smiling Dreams
I dreamed last night that I married you
And we were quite happy here
But just like life it was ended all too soon
With you
And when I woke it was dark outside
The moon looked at me with a smile
He said “my friend, if you need to rest
Well, I'll be awake for a while”
Lie awake and try to dream
The dream I dreamt before
Near my grasp
But through my fingers
Drifting out the door
That's the way I'll remember you
A smile, a wink, and a wave
Out the door where it's all the same
And all the dreams are grave
Cause some things just aren't meant to last
And I guess you were one of those things
Don't be sorry, cause I'll still have you
Close inside my dreams
I'll remember you inside my
Little smiling dreams
