When the moon is up and shining On the fields a long time bright Where the crops one time grew There's a black and gold horizon Through the trees in the purple moonlight Welcome to what you knew
There's a place inside the shadows where the stillness Covers up a night so blue And it traps the lonely whirlwind there and hides it From view
In the idle some grow restless And imagine something more right Sometimes don't think it through So they saddle up the ponies and they ride off into the night One time more, sometimes blue
Sometimes then the only colors they can dream of Double back and catch a few Of the crazy moonlight dragons they've been chasing Through the hills
Now the mist is growing thicker And it's getting harder to play Sometimes now mostly true So they gather 'round the fire and they lie the time away Sometimes blue, sometimes blue
There's a place inside the shadows where the stillness Covers up a night so blue And it traps the lonely whirlwind there and hides it From view
