Light of the Moon

In late September I drove across the prairies

The mountains behind me and the ocean beyond

This country's a coal mine and I'm a canary

Turn out the headlights and the radio on

I remember the words I forget the tune

The light of the moon, the light of the moon

Under the stars you stagger and swoon

The light of the moon, the light of the moon

Sunrise, oh sunrise will you wait for me?

Don't come too soon through the night's deep abyss

Flirt with the waitress in Sault Ste Marie

Hear music and voices through static and hiss

I remember the words I forget the tune

The light of the moon, the light of the moon

Under the stars you stagger and swoon

The light of the moon, the light of the moon

The light of the moon, the light of the moon

Light of the moon, light of the moon
