Man on the Moon ft. Norwood Grimes Lyrics

I'm sure you've heard the story

About a man whose glory

And fame, and fortune made him

Universally renowned

The brightest star that ever shown

In the moonlit dreamer zone

That night sky instigator

Who lights the midnight craters

Has been left all alone

The man on the moon

Is crying softly for his dunes

At such a cost

This lonely man's love was lost

He had to go

And dwell on the land down below

He's yearning for the past

But alack! Alas! The past just never lasts!

But there's more to our story

Some unknown territory

Some special knowledge that we've

Yet to be revealed and shown

Of the saddest kind of tone

That the world has ever known

A lady fair and pretty

To him she spares no pity

And left him all alone

The man on the moon

Is crying softly for his dunes

At such a cost

This lonely man's love was lost

He had to go

And dwell on the land below

He's yearning for the past

But alack! Alas! The past just never lasts!

So when you're gazing up there

Or if you're stopping to stare

Looking up high to see that

Man who's living on the moon

Oh, this story makes me swoon

Thanks for listening to my tune

You'll see no man on up there

Only a woman as fair

As a golden afternoon
