Melancholy Moon

Melancholy moon
oh, split in two
where's the other half tonight?

It's just a bit like me
only half complete
and drifting alone
across the sky

melancholy moon

I drove too many friends
to the airport gate
I drove home alone
too many times
and now that I'm free
I can finally see
just exactly where I am

it's where I want to be

and in the promised land
with the sun and the sand
there are no cornfields
and no snow

beneath a cloudy sky
so many friends of mine
said that was the place to go
but not for me

and that's just the way it is
and that's just fine
and that's just the way it is
this side of paradise
I'm just fine
without paradise

no, I'll never go
to the land
where my dreams
have a chance

well, I think not

melancholy moon
rising by the hill
that's where we used to
waste our time
when keeping up with you
was all I could do
and now I'm living my own life

but I'm away from you :(

and that's the way it is
and that's just fine
and that's just the way it is
this side of paradise

no, I'll never go to the land
where my dreams
have a chance

well, I think not...

no not me
no not me
no not me
no not me
