I’ve Never Seen the Moon L Dunn © ‘11
Verse
A sultry night’s expectation
Her mysteries to discover
Pulled me like a river to the sea
It was an evening like no other
Moonlit patterns strung in pearls laid across her floor
She knew I was hungry as she opened the door
Chorus
And we rode the crest of desire till it tumbled to shore
Then rolled back out on the rhythm and rode some more
I’ve never seen the moon ever shine so bright
Verse
She took me in for who I was
Read me from cover to cover
No clever lines needed to fill the time
What she wanted was a lover
Your secrets are safe with me she said, why don’t you stay
And your world weary loneliness will melt away
Chorus
Bridge
Some hearts will reveal
You become the sum of all you feel
Verse
I’ve chased that night from here to then
Never quite got it back again
Many tomorrows have come to pass
But that memory still holds fast
Like the autumn crush turns summer grape to wine
That sultry August memory grows sweeter over time
Chorus
As we rode the crest of desire till it tumbled to shore
Then rolled back out on the rhythm and rode some more
I’ve never seen the moon ever shine so bright
