Jesus of the Moon Lyrics
[00:10.54] I stepped out of the St. James hotel
[00:14.14] And I left you behind curled up like a child
[00:18.38] A change is gonna come
[00:21.28] And as the door whispered shut
[00:23.46] I walked on down the high-windowed hall
[00:27.62] You lay sleeping on the unmade bed
[00:30.80] The weatherman on the television in the St. James hotel said
[00:35.88] That the rains are gonna come
[00:39.03] And I stepped out on the streets
[00:41.46] All sparkling clean with the early morning dew
[00:44.56] Maybe it was you or maybe it was me?
[00:47.37] You came on like a punch in the heart
[00:51.66] Lying there with the light on your hair
[00:55.75] Like a Jesus of the moon
[00:58.67] A Jesus of the planets and the stars
[01:09.23] Well, I kept thinking about what the weatherman said
[01:13.36] And if the voices of the living can be heard by the dead
[01:16.85] Well, the day is gonna come when we find out
[01:21.44] And in some kind of way I take a little comfort from that
[01:25.51] Now and then
[01:26.89] 'Cause people often talk about being scared of change
[01:31.11] But for me I'm more afraid of things staying the same
[01:35.76] 'Cause the game is never won
[01:37.79] By standing in any one place
[01:40.76] For too long
[01:43.54] Maybe it was you or maybe it was me?
[01:46.31] But there was a chord in you that I could not find to strike
[01:50.59] You lying there with all the light in your hair
[01:54.43] Like a Jesus of the moon
[01:56.61] A Jesus of the planets and the stars
[02:25.43] I see the many girls walking down the empty streets
[02:29.37] Maybe once or twice one of them smiles at me
[02:33.32] You can't blame anyone for saying hello
[02:37.21] I say hey
[02:39.03] I say hello… I say hello…
[02:42.07] Will it be me or will it be you?
[02:45.63] One must stay and one must depart
[02:49.57] You lying there in the St. James hotel bed
[02:53.80] Like a Jesus of the moon
[02:56.35] A Jesus of the planets and the stars
[03:01.69] I say hello... hello... hello...
[03:16.77]
[00:14.14] And I left you behind curled up like a child
[00:18.38] A change is gonna come
[00:21.28] And as the door whispered shut
[00:23.46] I walked on down the high-windowed hall
[00:27.62] You lay sleeping on the unmade bed
