old lyrics, new music - jazz/blues - Tim Lowe on sax

rock piano vocals harmony funk jazz instrumental blues experimental rhythm and blues improvisation multi genre

Hi! I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter currently living in Fredericton, N.B., Canada. I've been performing music in one way or another since the mid '60's, starting out singing tenor in a barbershop quartet with my brothers and then into a progression of bands playing rock, jazz, blues and country and... whatever. It's been a fun ride so far and I'm still as exited about it as the day I began. Ralph Atkinson

Story behind the song

Thanks to Tim Lowe on tenor sax!

Lyrics

A lover's moon in January
where were you in May?
you shoud've been shinin' on me and my baby
but rain fell and washed our love away

I'll bet you were shinin' down in Shanghai
I bet you were shinin' in Rangoon
but now here you are in the middle of the lonely winter
and all I can do is croon
ahh, you lover's moon, you
you lover's moon

Now it may be lunacy or it may be true
that love has a dark side just like you
sometimes shinin' with heavenly grace
and sometimes you hide your face

but when love comes around to shine again
I know, I know you're gonna be my friend
shinin' your love light down on over my shoulder
and I'll see you reflected in her eyes

She would be here if you'd only been there
ahh, you lover's moon, you
