I looked up and saw the Blue Mountain moon
It was shinin’ down the highway
Wasn’t gonna be settin’ anytime soon
The road ahead was endless
It seemed to go on for a million miles
I was runnin’ on empty
Exhausted from my troubles and his trials
But something was gonna happen soon
Beneath the Blue Mountain moon
Once I walked a tightrope
As the Big Top train rolled into town
I was lonely on the wire
And just one simple step from fallin’ down
No net was there to save me
If an ill wind should take a nasty course
No arms are there to catch me
No lover there to feel any remorse
But something was gonna happen soon
Beneath the Blue Mountain moon
Once I lived on Main Street
Slept in a box and lived out on the street
I went to church on Monday
Did’t pray, just got a bite to eat
Nobody was lookin’ for me
An no one cared about my daily plight
No figurin’ what each day will bring
No wonder I felt more alive at night
I knew something was gonna happen soon
Beneath the Blue Mountain moon
I’m walkin’ in the high grass
Miles from anything I ever knew
Standin’ where the dog died
Leanin’ on the apple tree you grew
It seems that I’m just waitin’
It feels like time’s been slowin’ to a crawl
Don’t know where the time goes
Maybe it don’t go nowhere at all
Still, something’s gonna happen soon
Beneath the Blue Mountain moon
