|
Standing on the moon |
|
I got no cobweb on my shoe |
|
Standing on the moon |
|
I'm feeling so alone and blue |
|
I see the Gulf of Mexico |
|
As tiny as a tear |
|
The coast of California |
|
Must be somewhere over here, over here |
|
Standing on the moon |
|
I see the battle rage below |
|
Standing on the moon |
|
I see the soldiers come and go |
|
There's a metal flag beside me |
|
Someone planted long ago |
|
Old Glory standing stiffly |
|
Crimson, white and indigo |
|
Old Glory standing stiffly |
|
Crimson, white and indigo, indigo |
|
I see all of Southeast Asia |
|
I can see El Salvador |
|
I hear the cries of children |
|
And the other songs of war |
|
It's like a mighty melody |
|
That rings down from the sky |
|
Standing here upon the moon |
|
I watch it all roll by, all roll by |
|
All roll by, all roll by |
|
Standing on the moon |
|
I see a shadow on the sun |
|
Standing on the moon |
|
The stars go fading one by one |
|
I hear a cry of victory |
|
Another of defeat |
|
A scrap of age old lullaby |
|
Down some forgotten street |
|
Standing on the moon |
|
Where talk is cheap and vision true |
|
Standing on the moon |
|
But I would rather be with you |
|
Somewhere in San Francisco |
|
On a back porch in July |
|
Just looking up to Heaven |
|
At this crescent in the sky, in the sky |
|
Standing on the moon |
|
With nothing left to do |
|
A lovely view of Heaven |
|
But I'd rather be with you |
|
A lovely view of Heaven |
|
But I'd rather be with you, be with you |
|
Be with you |
|
I'd rather be with you, be with you |
|
I'd rather be with you |
|
I'd rather be with you, be with you |
|
Be with you |
