Man In The Moon

Take me back to the waters edge
The shores of a country's end
Sail away

A story, valid in '98
Utterly out of date
But in style

Then I look at your face, a disgrace
My friend you've seen better days
Than the ones we share now
Whatever happened to the songs we sang so proud?

Oh why can't you see?
You're like the man in the moon to me
Born as one of a few
You became the one in a million
Like a star that's shooting through
Now I look at your face in the blue

Shake me out in the morning sun
The fields where we came undone
For a day

A memory, only to be forgot
By lovers and fools we've fought
Along the mile

Then I look at a face, a disgrace
My friend, we've got a bitter taste
From the guns you shoot now
Whatever happened to the songs we sang so proud?

Oh why can't you see?
You're like the man in the moon to me
Born as one of a few
You became the one in a million
Like a star that's shooting through
Now I look at your face in the blue

Look at them hide
Look at them run
Poking their fucking up face in the sun
We'll set a date, just you and me
We'll go to the observatory
How I'd love to see ya, how I'd love to see ya shine

Oh why can't you see?
You're like the man in the moon to me
Born as one of a few
You became the one in a million
Like a star that's shooting through
Now I look at your face in the blue
