The Hunting of the Snark movie - As Long As The Moon Can Shine lyrics

rate me

<br>

(Butcher)<br>

I must have known that it existed but I couldn't quite conceive it,<br>

I was always the loser in affairs of the heart,<br>

Well, you know how when you find something that you want, you don't believe it,<br>

No you can't quite believe it when the good times start.<br>

<br>

I used to think of love as just a dream that dissapears,<br>

But you've taught me more tonight than I have learned in all those years.<br>

<br>

As long as the moon can keep on shining,<br>

And the sun keeps hanging in the sky,<br>

No-one can take what flows between us,<br>

No-one alive.<br>

As long as the moon can keep on shining,<br>

And the years keep rolling slowly by,<br>

You'll be a friend of mine,<br>

As long as the moon can shine.<br>

<br>

Some people search for people, and some people search for freedom,<br>

And some search for nothing but the thrill of the chase;<br>

Well you know sometimes you search for things just to find that you don't need them,<br>

Or you search for the right things in the wrong kind of place.<br>

<br>

I used to think of love as just a promise people make,<br>

Or a game that people play, or just a risk that people take.<br>

<br>

As long as the moon can keep on shining,<br>

And the sun keeps hanging in the sky,<br>

No-one can take what flows between us,<br>

No-one alive.<br>

As long as the moon can keep on shining,<br>

And the years keep rolling slowly by,<br>

You'll be a friend of mine,<br>

As long as the moon can shine.<br>

<br>

As long as the moon can shine.<br>

<br>

They returned hand in hand, and the Bellman, unmanned<br>

(For a moment) with noble emotion,<br>

Said "This amply repays all the wearisome days<br>

We have spent on the billowy ocean!"<br>
