Name: The Moon Is Blue
Duration: P00H03M19S
Description: Some guys just have those sort of translucent far away eyes; women love and fear them. Of course it's more than eyes that make people shiftless, but there is a look in the eye. Yet sometimes over the years the look loses its likelihood of being translated into action and the born wanderer ends up a wistful stayer

lyrics

THE MOON IS BLUE

She gives him her love, it's a part of her
Never quite sure if the feeling is returned
He gives her a smile, and it's part of her
Never relaxed that lessons have been learned

And the look in his eyes, vast and clear-blue skies
Someday he'll be free and riding on
And the look in his eyes, a river roaring wild
One day she will wake and he'll be gone

He'll be leaving me soon, it's all he knows to do
He swears he'll be true, yeah when the moon is blue

She gives him her heart, and that's all of her
Challenging fate and ready for the pain
He gives her his best, it's enough for her
Years fly past and yet he still remains

And the look in his eyes, vast and clear-blue skies
But eyes no longer focused on the view
And the look in his eyes, one he can't deny
He'll be moving when the moon is blue

Once in a blue moon, he gets a spark in his eye
Once in a blue moon, on a dark winter night
Once in a blue moon, he gets a spark in his eye
Once in a blue moon, on a dark winter night
