       Under the moon you go running
       for the man you call your lover.
       And you'll find out that he's floating
       in the Devil's sacred water.
       And your sore heart won't condone it
       while your heavy mind is weak.
       And you'll secretly be crying
       while you're acting so discreet.

       Chorus:
       My hat's off to you my friend
       he's running round but you find him again.
       you're moon running in your loyal trend
       while I'm here dying for you to leave him

       So you search outside your crying
       to bring him back again.
       Smoke filled rooms are the climate
       you'll find him hiding in.
       And you know he could be lying
       sweet words that smother sorrow.
       inside his eyes he is smiling
       cause you'll be with him tommorrow.

       And you're sure he'll make some changes
       cause he shams a happy face.
       But you wind up turning pages
       in the history book you hate.
       And you find yourself moon running
       chasing visions while you're able
       while you're tryin to live a legend
       from some ancient fairytale.

       Chorus:
       My hat's off to you my friend
       he's runnin round but you find him again
       You're moon runnin in your loyal trend.
       While I'm here dying for you to leave him.

Wow a poet and a musican. what talent you have, I too am curious to hear the backing track. I am imagining a kind of Nick Cave and the bad seeds vibe, could be because one of Nick's cds is playing on my stereo at the moment. Well what ever the music as a lyric it is damn good.

Marvelously done.

'So you search outside your crying
to bring him back again. '

What a touching blue thought.
