Lyrics
WATER FROM THE MOON
If we only had fresh horses
We could make it to the border
Let the wind erase our trail
As we ride across the sky.
With our backs against a burning world
And our eyes against the night
We stand watching our deliverance
At the edge of life.
But as long as you're here with me
We can beat the devil's odds.
Tempt the hands of fate
We can touch the face of God.
And we could get water from the moon.
Water from the moon.
If we only had fresh horses
We could make it to the border
We could race across the water
But tired horses run no more.
You can hear a thousand voices
And they're shouting out our names
Calling for us one and all
To jump into the flames.
