I began writing “Blood Moon” during the lunar eclipse on April 15th, 2014, turning the moon into a beautiful “red-orange” color. The song is about fighting for love, being patient, and admiring the beauty through it all. “Blood Moon” contains additional vocals by Gabrielle Dillon (Bradley University...
[Verse One:]
She could be last girl on…
Earth, and I really wouldn’t notice
You’re the one I think about at night
When the sun goes down and the sky turns golden
I could die in the middle of the moment
Watch you from Heaven, and still be content
Say I’m a gentleman, make it a settlement
Whether a house or we’re out in a tent
True love like
Back in the day, Patti Labelle
Love as a kiss, but never to tell
Love with a bliss, steady to wait
I’ll lay it down at the sound of the bell
Never let a good girl go…
And I know a real man won’t leave…
So, I’m standing right here, when that moon turns red
They don’t know about where we’ve (been)
This past year was our best year
And our worst year, and our first year
And our last year for these sad tears
And we both know, if I pass here
That I was giving it my all, and plus some…
Kinda save it all up like a trust fund
My time
I stand
With the cash in my hand
And I give it all up when the bus comes
[Chorus:]
We stare into that red light glow
All night long, all night long, all night long
(x4)
[Verse Two:]
Soft... Slow...
Rock... Stone...
You and I both... Know
That we are like rocks... Thrown
Land on the sand where the beach starts...
Look at my girl, little sweetheart...
Think about it:
That's you and I and our trust...
Loving all sides, that's three parts...
What about God?
He gets the credit for all that he's done!
I never doubt Him cause nothing without him is ever accomplished
Loving accomplice
Even in my complex life
I still know it’s a process, right?
I hold your hand
Still think about love in the middle of a conflict
Nice
Our first kiss was like bell chimes
And we’re saving time for our first time
When our bodies call for that first high
And we check the clock and it turns nine
And our eyes… close
To the dark like blindfolds
I’m holding on tight, till it comes that time…
And I bet we find gold…
[Chorus:]
We stare into that red light glow
All night long, all night long, all night long
