G Aish
In late September
I drove across the prairie
The mountains behind me
And the ocean beyond
G Aish
This country's a coalmine
And I'm a canary
Turn out the headlights
and the radio on
I remember the words
I forget the tune
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
Under the stars,
you stagger and swoon
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
G Aish
Sunrise oh sunrise
Will you wait for me
Don't come too soon
Through the night's deep abyss
G Aish
Flirt the waitress
in Sault Ste Marie
Hear music and voices
through static and hiss
Chorus, same as above
I remember the words
I forget the tune
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
Under the stars, you stagger and swoon
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
