Lyrics

Living Under Moonlight


A living world of dust and gray haze, and I?ve been locked in---
Still don?t know just how I got here---I just slipped right in.
But if I could learn to live under the sunshine,
It might light the way to learn to live with you---
But colors tend to fade to grayness beneath the moon.

Workday end I have to come down, just wasting time,
Spilling breath and all my powers in broken rhyme.
But if I could learn to fall in love with good times,
I might see the way to fall in love with you---
And if I could remember feeling eighteen, with no time to lose . . .

But I?m living under moonlight and I?ve got to see the sunlight
Or I?ll waste away.
But I?m living under moonlight and I?ve got to see the sunlight
Or I?ll waste away.

Faces in a dirty window, just looking in,
Waiting for the great explosion---and I just can?t win
But if I could learn to fall in love with your smile,
It might light the way to fall in love with you
And those faces would fade in the sunshine and leave me to you.

But I?m living under moonlight and I?ve got to see the sunlight
Or I?ll waste away.
But I?m living under moonlight and I?ve got to see the sunlight
Or I?ll waste away.

Woman, I don?t need your warm hands, I just need your smile.
Let me know I?m not alone here, just stay awhile,
And teach me how to fall in love with your smile
And help me learn to fall in love with you,
And show me that there are some colors beneath the moon.
