Mr. Moon
words and music by Kim Wilson (Alador)
With a full moon to guide me, I took to the highway
To seek out my fortune I thought I would roam
With no one beside me, my troubles they tried me
And left me just feelin' alone
Mountains are high and canyons are wide
Rivers are treacherous, deep and so cold
The road that I've gone by touch valley and sky
Sad stories are best left untold
I remember the look on her face as we parted
I said darling I'll be home soon
She tried not to cry as she looked to the sky
And said "Bring him home safe Mr. Moon"
The darkness will find you when love's far behind you
What waits for you out in the night?
A candle is burning so you should be turning
Your feet and your gaze back towards the light
Ole Mr. Moon and I, how we've traveled
He's been my friend through laughter and tears
But all I have learned from the bridges we've burned
Is no one can give back the years
With you to guide me, I took to the highway
Now I'm headed back home to my love, Mr. Moon
