Adrian Belew - THE MAN IN THE MOON lyrics

rate me

There I stood in the night

out on the broken pier

me with my feet in the sea

you with your face in the clouds,

the man in the moon

and as I heard your voice,

felt your laugh

flood across the broken pier

I wanted to die right then and there

You smiled down across the waves

as if to say to me

"Everything will be okay,

be strong and true"

and I felt your eyes

like the tide

pulling me out into the air

for a moment in time

you held me there,

father and son,

home again'
