Bob Dylan - Moonlight Lyrics
Words and music by bob dylanThe seasons they are turning and my sad heart is yearningTo hear again the songbirds sweet melodious toneWont you meet me out in the moonlight aloneThe dusky light the day is losingOrchids, poppies, black eyed susanThe earth and sky that melts with flesh and boneWont you meet me out in the moonlight aloneThe air is thick and heavy all along the leveeWhere the geese into the countryside have flownWont you meet me out in the moonlight aloneWell, Im preaching peace and harmonyThe blessings of tranquilityYet I know when the time is right to strikeI take you cross the river, dearYouve no need to linger hereI know the kinds of things you likeThe clouds are turning crimson, the leaves fall from the limbsThe branches cast their shadows over stoneWont you meet me out in the moonlight aloneThe boulevards of cypress trees, the masquerade of birds and beesThe petals pink and white, the wind has blownWont you meet me out in the moonlight aloneThe trailing moss in mystic glow, the purple blossom soft as snowMy tears keep flowing to the seaDoctor, lawyer, indian chief, it takes a thief to catch a thiefFor whom does the bell toll for, love?It tolls for you and meOld pulses running through my palm, the sharp hills are rising fromYellow fields with twisted oaks that growWont you meet me out in the moonlight alone
