Down in the Light of the Melon Moon — текст песни (Flatlanders)

Woody walked out of the cotton field
In his head he had words that his lips concealed
An old airstrip where the weeds are growin`
A burned out bomber with the cockpit glowin`
With the key from a room to the Skyview Motel
He scratched words in the wing as a falling star fell

The moon sees you, the moon sees me
The moon sees who I want to see
I`ll see you soon

Down in the light of the melon moon
Down in the light of the melon moon

On the other side of town `n another side of life
Stella holds her breath and stares at the knife
She looks to the sky at the flash of a star
And just sees a man and a plane and a war
From a drawer by the bed she opens a book
To a sketch on a napkin that`s torn half in two

The moon sees you, the moon sees me
The moon sees who I want to see
I`ll see you soon
Down in the light of the melon moon
Down in the light of the melon moon

She doesn`t feel lucky, she doesn`t feel lost
She just feels like leavin`, what ever the cost
Past the Skyview Motel with a man on her mind
Half her life in the headlights the other half behind
She passed a military truck by a cemetery wall
I guess good luck is better than no luck at all

The moon sees you, the moon sees me
The moon sees who I want to see
I`ll see you soon
Down in the light of the melon moon
Down in the light of the melon moon
