lyrics

The moon brings the devil out of me
As I walk down the windy streets of her soul
The whole world seemed to sleep so quietly
As we sang don’t look back and don’t let go

But every time I get into
The same old trouble I’ve been through
I look for the answers in an empty well
And try to tell what I can already tell

The howling hounds that fill my mixed up mind
Are muzzled on the brink of an endless night
But tomorrow when there’s strangers at my door
The dogs will be barking once more

But every time that I go through
The things I should and should not do
I find myself breaking all the rules
I wonder if she broke hers too

Now the trees still stand
The rivers are running
But they’re flooding the land
I know they roll and flow
But I don’t care where they go

Somewhere near a dream I opened my eyes
And felt the spell upon the night
And as I looked out the window that night
Far away I saw a lonesome light

I’ve read that light in a book before
Across a bay where lovers play
And as I laid my head to pray
Beside me she awoke and walked away

Now the trees still stand
The rivers are running
But they’re flooding the land
I know they roll and flow
But I don’t care where they go

The moon abbreviates the sun
‘Til the morning bells are rung
She’s walking through the rain
Down the road
Singing her true love’s song

Now the trees still stand
The rivers are running
But they’re flooding the land
I know they roll and flow
But I don’t care where they go
