Light of the Moon

In late September I drove across the prairies
 The mountains behind me and the ocean beyond
 This country's a coal mine and I'm a canary
 Turn out the headlights and the radio on
 I remember the words I forget the tune
 The light of the moon, the light of the moon
 Under the stars you stagger and swoon
 The light of the moon, the light of the moon
 Sunrise, oh sunrise will you wait for me?
 Don't come too soon through night's deep abyss
 Flirt with the waitress in Sault Ste Marie
 Hear music and voices through static and hiss
 I remember the words I forget the tune
 The light of the moon, the light of the moon
 Under the stars you stagger and swoon
 The light of the moon, the light of the moon
 The light of the moon, the light of the moon
 Light of the moon, light of the moon
