lyrics

8. Mr. Moonlight

Oh I should be sleeping
but you keep on speaking
to me Mr. Moonlight
I can’t close my eyes
I can’t close my mind
to you Mr. Moonlight

1 AM I stumble to bed
the ivy makes shadows that crawl across the ceiling
your voice in my head & all left unsaid
still what I’d heard was not quite what I’d wanted

Mr. Moonlight I can’t close my mind to you

3:00 I can see in the dark
we play cat & mouse now
but I hold the phone call
your voice in my head & all left unsaid
everyone on my street will have troubled dreams tonight

Mr. Moonlight you push me pull me look right through me
& never care to care about me

5 AM & I take a ride
I tell myself I’m going looking for the sunrise
see your car parked where it should be
& for that one moment I’m almost happy
turn off the road I turn on the dial
& it’s Patsy Cline singing I’m crazy

Crazy for feeling so lonely crazy for feeling so blue

It’s always the same sometimes
got a different name always a different face
but it’s always you
Mr. Moonlight
