Moonlight Serenade

Music & lyrics: john popper



I ain't no broken-winged bird

My reams fly high

And i can't go on a memory

Can't accept or deny

I don't really know how to feel now

But i'm getting used to that

How instantly the feelings

Never leave and still come back



And that same old role has been played

And that age old course has been laid

And as usual, i'm afraid

But by heaven or hell, i will not be swayed

By the light of the moonlight serenade

By the light of the moonlight serenade



I think my heart is a racehorse

Whenever you're around

When there's usually a leaf

It tumbles to the ground

And i'm looking out my window

At a brand new day's begin

A junkie who is hurting

For seeing you again



And that same old role has been played

And that age old course has been laid

And as usual, i'm afraid

But by heaven or hell, i will not be swayed

By the light of the moonlight serenade

By the light of the moonlight serenade



But if it takes till forever

I will try to understand

Though i guessed i may never

These wings won't let me land

So i still keep on guessing

Till an instant makes it clear

This instant i am addressing

The instant you get here

I feel your soul coming on

And soon will fill my mind

I guess there are feelings

You just can't leave behind

The racehorse is off and running

And headed round the bend

Though jockey he is fearful

Saying here we go again



And that same old role has been played

And that age old course has been laid

And as usual, i'm afraid

But by heaven or hell, i will not be swayed

By the light of the moonlight serenade

By the light of the moonlight serenade



By the light of the moonlight serenade
