Melancholy Moon
So long ago I barely can remember
My recollections fade to shades of gray
A restless ghost, she wanders through the shadows
And with the wind, she vanishes away
But on a night like this, her spirit rises
With a kiss of autumn in the air
She's haunted by the hope to find a broken promise there
Oh, maybe it was all a crazy dream
Some love affair that never should have been
A chapter from a story that ended all too soon
Underneath a melancholy moon.
Her silver sister makes a cold companion
But she became my consolation prize
And though I know so much can be forgiven
I can't escape the mistress of the tides
But on a night like this I just keep playin' back
That soundtrack in my soul
And try to find the rhythm that I lost so long ago
Oh, maybe it was all a crazy dream
A fragment of some broken melody
Once upon a time, I knew that song
But now I can't recall the tune
Underneath this melancholy moon.
Cry try to find a way to finally say goodbye
You know that moon will never offer a reason why
And on a night like this I just keep playin' back
That soundtrack in my soul
And try to find the rhythm that I lost so long ago
Oh, maybe it was all a crazy dream
A fragment of some broken melody
Once upon a time, I knew her song
But now I can't recall that tune
Underneath this melancholy moon.
