New Moon

(album: Far Beyond These Castle Walls - 1975)

A new moon is laughing up there in the sky, but
My love is crying and I'll tell you why...

Crisis and confusion when she came along,
Followed by delusion when I found out that I was wrong,
She said "Baby, we're cruising along on the crest of a wave,"
And I said "Maybe, but baby I'm losing, and the only wave is goodbye"...

'Cos just when I'm starting to burn with desire,
My blood's getting hot and the flames rising higher,
She says "Goodnight"...
And leaves me on fire, and I'm so sorry my love,
I gotta say goodbye, ooh, ohh.

A new moon, a new tune, another song is coming soon,
New moon, new day, another love is coming my way,
She took my heart, and without a word she tore it apart, ooh,
New moon, so bright, shine your light on me for the rest of the night...

Scenes of soft seduction, spinning through my head,
Watching her deduction as I lay grinning on my bed,
Sie said "Honey, it's so moving, I can almost see our wedding day,"
And I said "Funny, you'd better start grooving honey or the only move is away"...

And then she turned with that look in her eye,
And I know that bad weather'll be here by and by,
And sure enough, she started to cry, and I'm so sorry my love,
I really gotta fly, ooh, ohh...

A new moon, a new tune, another song is coming soon,
New moon, new day, another love is coming my way,
She took my heart, and without a word she tore it apart, ooh,
New moon, so bright ... ooh shine your light on me for the rest of the night...
New moon, new moon ... oh, oh, new moon,
Bye, bye, bye, new moon, bye, bye, new moon.
