Blue Moon (Part 2)
Words & Music by John DeLore
How did you know I’d be sitting here waiting for you
With a half dozen daisies and a half-finished bottle of booze.
You win some you lose some and sometimes you don’t make it through.
You saved me from the valley, but who’s gonna save me from you.
Now they’re beating the drum for the age old myth of rebellion.
And they’re ringing them bells to call all the old spirits to.
The spies were all listening in when I whispered I missed you.
So you taught me this spell to help me make it through.
Don’t ever let the old devil catch you staring at the moon.
Let him bring you all the light that you need
And sing his praise in June.
But don’t ever let the old devil catch you staring at the moon.
Now are the days when the old angels start to fall
Like that cold hard rain they said would drown one and all.
For they’ll cry you a river and they’ll still have an ocean to spare
Cos they can’t stand our music, our clothes, or the bows in our hair.
And the truth is I’ve never been one for the singing of sweet songs
That don’t have a part where the heart rips apart at the seams
The farther I travel from home the larger it seems.
Well I am who I am. Who am I but a slave to my dreams?
Don’t ever let the old devil catch you staring at the moon.
Let him bring you all the light that you need
And sing his praise in June.
But don’t ever let the old devil catch you staring at the moon.
It was just after noon the war chased the bluebird away.
I heard him singing, but you swore that you heard him say,
“This may be a dream, or it may be the one thing you fear.
But you’ll never know which one until it draws near.”
And the truth is I’ve never been one for the telling of stories
That don’t have an ending to plant a few seeds in the mind.
Now there’s blood everywhere. Don’t worry I don’t think it’s mine.
If this war’s ever over, I’d like to take you out dancing sometime.
Don’t ever let the old devil catch you staring at the moon.
Let him bring you all the light that you need
And sing his praise in June.
But don’t ever let the old devil catch you staring at the moon.
