LEVEL 42 - Lasso The Moon lyrics

rate me

She carries the water from the well in the morning<br>While the sand burns her feet the sun only stares<br>And the loneliness lingers with slow grasping fingers<br>As the afternoon withers the flowers in her hair<br><br>Then night fills the sky as she sits on the hillside<br>And memories drift by like clouds past the stars<br>Recalling romances and all the bright chances<br>But none of them lasted. they passed through her heart<br><br>And she says -<br>Where is a man who can build a good fire<br>With a passion as wide as the sky at high noon<br>A man whose hand is strong as his longing<br>Where is the man who can lasso the moon<br><br>She falls asleep and her dreams are her blanket<br>And she shares with the moon the secret she knows<br>As the dawn leaves it's tears to wash the dry valley<br>The tears of a woman can wash a man's soul<br><br>And she says -<br>Where is a man who can build a good fire<br>With a passion as wide as the sky at high noon<br>A man whose hand is strong as his longing<br>Where is the man who can lasso the moon<br><br>And she says -<br>Where is a man who can build a good fire<br>With a passion as wide as the sky at high noon<br>A man whose hand is strong as his longing<br>Where is the man who can lasso the moon<br><br>And I say -<br>I am a man who can build a good fire<br>And my passion's as wide as the sky at high noon<br>Come take my hand, it's as strong as your longing<br>Just say the word and I'll lasso the moon
