Lyrics

New Moon

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 flame's rising higher,

She says "Goodnight"...

And leaves me on fire, and I'm so sorry my love,

I gotta say goodbye, ooh, ooh,

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,

She 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, ooh...

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
