BOB DYLAN LYRICS - Moonlight

"Moonlight"



Seasons they are turning and my sad heart is yearning

I hear again the songbird weep below his tone

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone



The dusky light the day is losing

Orchards, poppies, black eyed Susan

The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone



The air is thick and heavy all along the levee

Where the geese into the countryside have flown

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone



Well, I'm preaching peace and harmony

The blessings of tranquility

Yet I know when the time is right to strike

I take you 'cross the river, dear

You no need to linger here

I know the kinds of things you like



The clouds are turning crimson, the leaves fall from the limbs and

The branches cast their shadows over stone

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone



The boulevards of cypress trees, the masquerade of birds and bees

The petals blinking white, the wind has blown

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone



The trailing moss in mystico, the purple blossom soft as snow

My tears keep flowing to the sea

Doctor, lawyer, indian chief, it takes a thief to catch a thief

For whom does the bell toll for, love?

It tolls for you and me



Old pulses running through my palm, the sharp hills are rising from

Yellow fields with twisted oaks that grow

Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone
