Story Behind The Song

Inspired while gazing at the moon a few days shy of full - matched by an unfulfilled mood.

Song Description

Slow, romantic, melancholy

Lyrics

Music filled the crowded ballroom
Conversation thrived
The orchestra was playing Gershwin
As I stepped outside
Love had left me out of tune
And strangely out of place
I stood there all alone
Gazing into space
Then rising through the hazy gloom
Appeared a weird and wonderful
Elliptic honeydew melon shaped moon

Oh melon moon
We?ll have a dance of our own tonight
Life?s a paler shade of blue
By your unusual light
Lopsided friend a little shy of round
Beam down a hand and help me from the ground
I?ll step into the air
I may be no Fred Astaire
But you and I can dip and glide
And through the night we?ll ride our mellow tune
It?s kind of sad but it?s only right
I?ll sing a song for all forlorn
Forgotten love tonight
To every dropout dream and outcast fool
To every broken heart and broken rule
While stars sing out their serenades to
A moon that?s full or a moon that is blue
We?ll do our dance in empty air
The odd ones out the imperfect pair

Melon moon
The night?s so short my eccentric friend
Just one offbeat little pause
Then life goes on again
In a while you?ll come round like you should
Maybe I?ll come down to earth for good
We?ll be soon back in the system of things
A moon that?s full
And singer who sings
Of life and love and living free
All the right hits but tonight
Its melon moon and melancholy me
