SHELLY'S MOON
(Guy Thomas) 1979
Baxter's challenge had sent me
Over the wall
To try to pierce the veil
And unlock the secrets
Swirling in and out of rhymes of make believe
And when it’s time to leave
It’s as always
One guitar, strings in tune
Shelly's moon is out tonight
Out tonight, it’s out tonight
You crossed the floor
And I played some chords for you
Wondering what you would do
Did you even hear them
And if I work my magic hard enough
Maybe we'll find the love
That we’ve been missing
And as the last note lingers
In the midnight air
It’s over too soon
You were still circling
High above my heart last night
Just like Shelly's moon
I’m living a life
That’s full of distant friends
They come and go again
With every song
The searching of the soul
Holds no place to rest
A stop light at best
As the road unwinds
And did you believe me
When I said you’ve got so much life
Living in you
Counting the cracks in the bleachers
And the lakes on the land
Me and you, just me and you
Counting the cracks in the bleachers
And the lakes on the land
Lakes on the land
The lakes on the land
