Woody walked out of the cotton field
|
In his head he had words that his lips concealed
|
An old airstrip where the weeds are growin'
|
A burned out bomber with the cockpit glowin'
|
With the key from a room to the Skyview Motel
|
He scratched words in the wing as a falling star fell
|
|
The moon sees you, the moon sees me
|
The moon sees who I want to see
|
I'll see you soon
|
|
Down in the light of the melon moon
|
Down in the light of the melon moon
|
|
On the other side of town 'n another side of life
|
Stella holds her breath and stares at the knife
|
She looks to the sky at the flash of a star
|
And just sees a man and a plane and a war
|
From a drawer by the bed she opens a book
|
To a sketch on a napkin that's torn half in two
|
|
The moon sees you, the moon sees me
|
The moon sees who I want to see
|
I'll see you soon
|
Down in the light of the melon moon
|
Down in the light of the melon moon
|
|
She doesn't feel lucky, she doesn't feel lost
|
She just feels like leavin', what ever the cost
|
Past the Skyview Motel with a man on her mind
|
Half her life in the headlights the other half behind
|
She passed a military truck by a cemetery wall
|
I guess good luck is better than no luck at all
|
|
The moon sees you, the moon sees me
|
The moon sees who I want to see
|
I'll see you soon
|
Down in the light of the melon moon
|
Down in the light of the melon moon
|
