about

One of the longest verses to a song EVER. And that's Official!! Actually I don't know if that's true but this song really does have a very very VERY long verse...basically explaining a break up and then the chorus is a laid back bossa going back to the beginning of the relationship and a long hot night outside, dancing under the moon, being all loved up, basically getting wasted and having a reeeeeally good time! Oh yeh and the band play beautifully as ever.. with Jim Mullen and David Newton playing gorgeous solos

lyrics

LYRICS
Verse
How can you just face me after all that we've been through
Turn around and say my world will now be without you?
How could you believe that I would nod and quietly leave
Without a word, a sigh, a helpless plea
I'd just say goodbye - don't worry about me?

All the dreams we had now lie in pieces on the floor
Slowly disappearing as you walk out the door
I long to shout, not a word comes out
I can't even make a sound
I'm all broken like my heart - as I watched you turn around

Then I remember - a night so tender
Under the moon, the stars so bright
I close my eyes tight and drift back
To a calm twilight of that long hot night...

CHORUS
Here I lie - face to the sky
Floating along my night's lullaby
Like a child I've played
In my wild crazy haze
Dancing with a moon so bright
All through the deep blue night

Now the flickering gaze - of my friendly star
Always there when I look up - you know who you are
Starts to flicker and fizz
Into one last sparkling kiss
And I feel you hold me tight
It's starting to get light...

.... All the dreams we had ....
