(GUITAR INTRO)
|
|
when that moon is on the rise
|
|
and the light gets in your eyes
|
|
and stirs somethin' that used to lie
|
|
inside you 'till you ask why
|
|
|
|
why ain't I just passin' by
|
|
like that moon that's on the rise
|
|
it shouldn't come as no surprise
|
|
I been back here time and time
|
|
|
|
like that sun that brings the spring
|
|
I know I'll be back again
|
|
if you don't know what you do
|
|
when it's over and we're through
|
|
|
|
watch what happens every spring
|
|
what was dead is live again
|
|
so why should you be odd man out
|
|
you should forget all your doubts
|
|
|
|
while some people look for purpose
|
|
their life passes by
|
|
right before their eyes
|
|
and if the purpose is to do good
|
|
that's an easy way to live everyday
|
|
if you would
|
|
(GUITAR SOLO)
|
|
|
|
so when the moon is on the rise
|
|
and that light gets in your eyes
|
|
and stirs something' that used to lie
|
|
inside you 'till you ask why
|
|
|
|
why ain't I just passin' by
|
|
like that moon that's on the rise
|
|
it shouldn't come as no surprise
|
|
I been back here time and time
|
|
|
|
like that sun that brings the spring
|
|
I know that I'll be back again
|
|
like that moon that's on the rise
|
|
I know I'll be back in time
|
|
I know I'll be back in time
|
|
I know I'll be back in time
|
|
I know I'll be back in time
