Saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get ye all


(Nick Drake - Pink Moon)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Some walk by night, some fly by day
Nothing could change you, set and sure of the way
We'll walk by night, we’ll fly by day
Moonlighting strangers who just met on the way

(Al Jarreau — Moonlighting)

 

[kherg007]

We get it almost every night
When that moon gets so big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

King Harvest "Dancing in the moonlight"

 

[fromtheshwa]

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon

(Waterboys - The Whole of the Moon)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time, unwillingly mine

(Echo & The Bunnymen — The Killing Moon)

 

[kherg007]

Blue moon, moon, moon, blue moon (dip-de-dip-dip)
Moon, moon, moon, blue moon (dip-de-dip-dip)
Moon, moon, moon, blue moon (dip-de-dip-dip)
Blue moon (moon, moon, moon, blue moon)

You saw me standing alone (dip-de-dip-dip, moon, moon, moon, blue moon)
Without a dream in my heart (dip-de-dip-dip, moon, moon, moon, blue moon)
Without a love of my own (dip-de-dip-dip)

Blue moon (moon, moon, moon, blue moon)
You knew just what I was there for (dip-de-dip-dip, moon, moon, moon, blue moon)
You heard me saying a prayer for (dip-de-dip-dip, moon, moon, moon, blue moon)
Someone I really could care for (dip-de-dip-dip, ooh ah, wow-wow-wow)

The Marcels - "Blue moon"

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Moonlight and roses bring wonderful mem'ries of you
My heart reposes in beautiful thoughts so true
June light discoses love's golden dreams sparkling anew
Moonlight and roses bring mem'ries of you

(Jim Reeves — Moonlight and Roses (Bring Mem’ries of You))

 

[kherg007]

The wind blew some luck in my direction
I caught it in my hands today
I finally made a tricky French connection
You winked and gave me your okay

I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
The moon'll send you on your way

Moonlight
Feels right
Moonlight
Feels right

Starbuck "Moonlight feels right"

(Let's dance) for fear your grace should fall
(Let's dance) for fear tonight is all
(Let's sway) you could look into my eyes
(Let's sway) under the moonlight, this serious moonlight


(David Bowie - Let's Dance)

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Sister Moon will be my guide
In your blue, blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I'm all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night through
I'd go out of my mind but for you

(Sting — Sister Moon)

 

[ogibowt]

There,s a moon out tonight
Whoa oh oh ooh
Let,s go strolling
There,s a girl in my heart
Whoa oh oh ooh
Whose heart I,ve stolen
There,s a moon ut tonight
Let,s go stolling through the park
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

The Capris..There,s A Moon Out Tonight..1958

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Couple of jiggers of moonlight and add a star
Pour in the blue of a June night and one guitar
Mix in a couple of dreamers and there you are
Lovers hail the moonlight cocktail

(Glenn Miller — Moonlight Cocktail)

 

[EJunkie]

I'm gonna start the day early
Maybe like a rocket on fire
Then I'm gonna write me a thousand songs
And I am never, ever, ever gonna tire

You bring the cup and I'll bring the moonshine
I wanna fill you up, babe won't you be mine?

Start the Day Early; Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers

Well in North Carolina, way back in the hills,
Lived my pappy and he had him a still.
He brewed white lightning 'till the sun went down,
And then he'd fill him a jug, an' pass it around.
Mighty, mighty pleasin', your pappy's corn squeezin'
And they call it, White Lightning

Yeah, the G-men came, and the revenuers too,
Searchin' for the place where he made his brew.
They were lookin', tryin' to book him,
But my pappy kept on cookin' that
White Lightning

(White Lightning -- J P Richardson, aka the Big Bopper)

 

[EJunkie]

Well, my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw grandaddy down here
He only come to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine
Now, the revenue man wanted grandaddy bad
Headed up the holler with everything he had
'Fore my time, well, I've been told
He never come back from Copperhead Road
Now, daddy ran the whiskey in a big-block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
"Johnson County Sheriff" painted on the side
He just shot a coat of primer, then he looked inside
Well, him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound
And then the Sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard Mama cryin', knew somethin' wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road; Steve Earle

 

[kherg007]

There's a light on yonder mountain
And it's callin' me to shine
There's a girl over by the water fountain
And she's askin' to be mine

And Jesus is standing in the doorway
In a buckskin jacket, boots and spurs so fine
Says, "We need you, son, tonight up in Dodge City
'Cause there's just too many outlaws
Tryin' to work the same line"

Now if Jesus was a sheriff and I were a priest
If my lady was an heiress and my mama was a thief
If papa rode shotgun on the Fargo line
There's still too many bad boys
Tryin' to work the same line

Springsteen "If I was a priest"

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
They’re riding hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught 'em yet
Cuz they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear their cry
Yippee-yi-yay
Yippee-yi-yo
Ghost riders in, ghost riders in the sky

(Stan Jones — (Ghost) Riders in the Sky)

 

[EJunkie]

I never thought they'd ever doubt my words
I guess they were just too tired to care
I'd point to the horizon, to the dust of the herds
Still hovering in the air
Somebody said it ain't any such
Man you wish so hard you're scaring me

'Cause those are combines kicking up that dust
But you can see what you want to see
And go on chasing after what used to be there
Top that rise and face the pain
But man they were here, they were here I swear
Not just these bleaching bones, stretching across the plain

No more buffalo, blue skies or open road
No more rodeo for this old boy
Take my Cadillac park it out in back
Mama's calling, put away the toys

No More Buffalo; James McMurtry

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

Oh they say she died one winter when there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire busted down its stall
In a blizzard he was lost
She ran calling Wildfire

(Michael Martin Murphey — Wildfire)

Jimmy Brown, made of stone
Charlie clown, no way home

Bring on the dancing horses, headless and all alone
Shiver and say the words of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
And then I'm gonna break it 'til it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And I'm shaking while I'm breaking your brittle heart

Billy stands all alone
Sinking sand, skin and bone
Bring on the dancing horses wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words of every lie you've heard

Echo and the Bunnymen - "Bring on the dancing horses"
