Pale Moonlight

In the pale moonlight
 In the dark, in the dead of night
 Second hand from a star it shines
 The fire's on
 Cold touch of an ancient rhyme
 There's a god that I left behind
 Second-hand everywhere I find
 The fire's gone
 They told me keep to your course
 In chasin' after desire
 I'm not findin' a source
 Like some sun-gold fire
 But maybe I've been sold a lie
 I can't find a light
 Tell me how many go down and never return
 To the sunlit lands, heaven please
 Have I lost 'em for good
 Had a dream where I went to find
 Far away, over seas and time
 The lost shores of a distant island, for so long
 Woke up to the pale moonlight
 Cold touch of an ancient rhyme
 Second-hand everywhere, I'll find it
 The first one
 They told me keep to your course
 In chasin' after desire
 I'm not findin' a source
 Like some sun-gold fire
 But maybe I've been sold a lie
 I can't find a light
 Tell me how many go down and never return
 To the sunlit lands, heaven please
 But maybe I've been sold a lie
 I can't find a light
 Tell me how many go down and never return
 To the sunlit lands, heaven please
 Have I lost 'em for good
