[Verse 1]
Moonlight, fade away tonight
I don’t feel much like dancing
Some man’s gone, he’s tried to run my life
Don’t know what he’s asking
He tells me I’d better get in line
Can’t hear what he’s saying
When I grow up, I’m gonna make it mine
But these aren’t dues I’ve been paying
How much does it cost, I’ll buy it
The time is all we’ve lost, I’ll try it
But he can’t even run his own life
I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine, Moonlight
[Verse 2]
Moonlight, fade away tonight
I don’t feel much like dancing
Some man’s gone, he’s tried to run my life
Don’t know what he’s asking
Working starts to make me wonder where
The fruits of what I do are going
He says in love and war all is fair
But he’s got cards he ain’t showing
How much does it cost, I’ll buy it
The time is all we’ve lost, I’ll try it
And he can’t even run his own life
I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine, Moonlight
[Verse 3]
Shadows crawl across the walls tonight
Whispers keep on chasing
I’ll light my path, I won’t give up the fight
No one’s ever breaking
The dreams I hold, they’re mine to keep
Through darkness and the danger
I’ll climb the heights while others sleep
And face the night, a lone arranger
How much does it cost, I’ll buy it
The time is all we’ve lost, I’ll try it
And he can’t even run his own life
I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine, Moonlight
[Outro]
Moonlight, come on back another day
I promise you I’ll be singing
This old world, she’s gonna turn around
Brand new bells’ll be ringing
Moonlight, come on back another day
I promise you I’ll be singing
This old world, she’s gonna turn around
Brand new bells’ll be ringing
This old world, she’s gonna turn around
Brand new bells’ll be ringing
