|
I sat outside one afternoon |
|
In an old lawn chair |
|
And I watched the sun set off |
|
For business west somewhere |
|
While the sky turned watercolor fine |
|
And gold and blue |
|
And the stars all showed up one by one |
|
And we waited for the moon |
|
And I thought 'bout you and I wondered why |
|
It took so long to say goodbye |
|
You shined so bright you blinded me |
|
And left me so I couldn't see |
|
(CHORUS) |
|
I was the moon chasing the sun |
|
There was never a prayer of ever catching up |
|
No matter how fast I would run |
|
Like the moon chasing the sun |
|
Just like the moon chasing the sun |
|
The crickets called |
|
And the moon peeked out to the eastern sky |
|
They both start up about this time each night |
|
And an evening breeze stopped by |
|
And brought some sweet relief |
|
In the silver light I finally let go of the heat |
|
And I thought 'bout you and I wondered why |
|
It took so long to say goodbye |
|
You shined so bright you blinded me |
|
And left me so I couldn't see |
|
(CHORUS) |
