"Light Of The Moon" lyrics

In late September I drove across the prairies
The mountains behind me and the ocean beyond
This country's a coalmine and I'm a canary
Turn out the headlights and the radio on

I remember the words but 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

Sunrise, oh Sunrise, will you wait for me?
Don't come too soon through the night's deep abyss
Flirt with the waitress in Sault Ste. Marie
Hear music and voices through static and hiss

I remember the words but 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, the light of the moon
The light of the moon, the light of the moon
