The Backyard Of My Life

The Only Lonely Place Is The Moon


You gotta do what you gotta do
Don't ever let it upset you
Waiting for the day to come
Desperado's on the run
Looking for the Levy for water
Tell tale signs that its over
Weight of the world on your shoulder
You cant escape getting older

Dancing in the midnight sky
The tides are turning we don't know why
The only lonely place is the moon
Sleeping in a strangers room
Cold winter morning
A dark day is dawning
The shining lighthouse of hope
If not for you i could not cope

Crying wont get you what you want
Praying don't get you what you need
Better button your coat up
Turn your chin down
Take shelter from the rain
Chasing paper playing the game
Carrying the burden of blame
Will i ever see your face again

Dancing down at the rainbow room
With the velvet dolls
And the mighty and the moon
Dreams we had as children
I often think about them
The waves will crash
On the broken glass
The shining lighthouse of hope
If not for you i could not cope

Where the shadows fall
Where the shadows fall
Where the shadows fall
Where the shadows fall
