DON’T TELL THE MOON

VERSE 1
If you’re walking alone don’t go talking alone
All your troubles inside will reach up to the sky
Don’t tell the moon
VERSE 2
If it’s you and your girl maybe losing your girl
Posing questions of love over heard from above
Don’t tell the moon
REFRAIN 1
Words at night turn around and betray
Slip of the tongue while drifting away
Don’t tell the moon
The moon will tell the sun
The sun will tell your girl
You’re not the one don’t tell the moon
The stars will listen in
and she will see one fall
and that’s the end
VERSE 3
Stay asleep in the dark mysteries deep in the dark
All your dreams are undone moving slow when you run
Don’t tell the moon
LEAD
VERSE 4
Take a stroll in the night lose control in the night
Distant fears will awake to the dark side of the day
Don’t tell the moon
REFRAIN 2
The moon will tell the sun
The sun will tell your girl
Your not the one don’t tell the moon
The stars will listen in
and she will see one fall
and that’s the end
Don’t tell the moon
Don’t tell the moon
Don’t tell the moon
Don’t tell the moon
