Story Behind the Song
This song is good. We made it that way on purpose.
Lyrics
There once was a man who was older than you.
He hid all his decades behind eyes of blue and
One night he climbed out the window of his room
To escape the world by the silvery light of the moon.
His face made of leather, his hair spun from silk,
He swam in a sea of homogenized milk and
He followed the tide that the moon would dictate
From her silver podium up above in outer space.
The moon is a woman, lonely to no end
As she shines down upon us in search of a friend and
The man is a widower, swimming to shore
To sleep on the banks made of eiderdown blankets once more.
The moon sees the man and is smitten on sight
And she sings to him lovingly, late in the night but
Her voice is a light beam in our atmosphere,
The words won't reach out to the widower for several years.
Past seventy five years the man now awoke
To hear the loving words the moon once had spoken.
The moon's voice familiar, he looked to the sky
To see that she had been replaced by a Dutch apple pie.
Oh moon said the man, I'm in love with you too,
But I'm lost out at sea, I don't know what I'm doing.
The moon reappeared and she bathed him in light,
And they danced together alone in the silvery night.
