Story Behind The Song

Wrote this one for Dion Dimucci, who passed on it. But I like it!

Song Description

A good rock song about the desperation faced by two people that feel their future is not in their home town, which is dying, but somewhere elese

Lyrics

Brooklyn Moon

Hello hello it?s only me
The summer wind just blew me to your door
I?ve been lyin? alone in my bed God it?s too hot to sleep
And I can?t stay away anymore

This city?s haunted by the ghost of lovers who?ve been sent away
Sometimes I dream we?ll be leavin? but you know we always stay

?Cause there aint no angels in heaven lookin? out for us
and the stars don?t shine here no more they?re just covered now with rust
so take my hand and we?ll groove to an old Sinatra tune
as we dance beneath these streetlights and this neon Brooklyn moon

Tonight tonight, I remember the time
When the sirens wailed like a lonesome lover?s cry
You see some foolish young boy with an arrow went and took aim at me
Now I?m one of his walking wounded so don?t let this poor heart bleed

This city won?t give us a second chance
And if all that we got is each other then baby lets take that dance

?Cause there aint no angels in heaven lookin? out for us
and the stars don?t shine here no more they?re just covered now with rust
so take my hand and we?ll groove to an old Sinatra tune
as we dance beneath these streetlights and this neon Brooklyn moon

steel beams and concrete dreams can?t hold us down
and the poets round here just scream in your ear but we?ve been around

?Cause there aint no angels in heaven lookin? out for us
and the stars don?t shine here no more they?re just covered now with rust
so take my hand and we?ll groove to an old Sinatra tune
as we dance beneath these streetlights and this neon Brooklyn moon
