7. Pale Moonlight

Verse 1

In the pale moonlight 

In the dark, in the dead of night

Second hand from a star it shines

The fire’s on


Verse 2

Cold touch of an ancient rhyme

There's a god that I left behind

Second-hand everywhere I find

The fire’s gone


Pre-Chours 1

They told me keep to your course

In chasin' after desire

I'm not findin' a source

Like some sun-gold fire


Chorus 1

But maybe I’ve been sold a lie

I can’t find a light

Tell me how many go down and never return

To the sunlit lands, heaven please

Have I lost 'em for good


Verse 3

Had a dream where I went to find

Far away, over seas and time

The lost shores of a distant island, for so long


Verse 4

Woke up to the pale moonlight

Cold touch of an ancient rhyme

Second-hand everywhere, I'll find it

The first one 

Pre-Chorus 2

They told me keep to your course

In chasin' after desire

I'm not findin' a source

Like some sun-gold fire


Chorus  2

But maybe I’ve been sold a lie

I can’t find a light

Tell me how many go down and never return

To the sunlit lands, heaven please


Chorus  3

But maybe I’ve been sold a lie

I can’t find a light

Tell me how many go down and never return

To the sunlit lands, heaven please

Have I lost 'em for good
