Music & lyrics: john popper
I aint no broken-winged bird
My reams fly high
And I cant go on a memory
Cant accept or deny
I dont really know how to feel now
But Im 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, Im 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 youre around
When theres usually a leaf
It tumbles to the ground
And Im looking out my window
At a brand new days 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, Im 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 wont 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 cant 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, Im 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
