Dances By The Moon Lyrics

She stands by the window with some flowers in her hair

And watches the moonlight passing

She thinks about a lover who once took her by the hand

And swore his love was everlasting

Where are you going

What are the flowers really for

Don't you know that time has come and gone

For over a lifetime

She darkens the room

Dances by the moon

Softly singing songs from 1964

She plays Claire De Lune

Dances by the moon

Saying love I am yours forevermore

She distances herself from the sorrow and the pain

And says I'm the great survivor

If she were Debbie Reynolds she'd be singing in the rain

But now she no longer bothers

What are you thinking

What is the singing really for

Don't you know that song has come and gone

For over a lifetime

As the night slips slowly by her

She sheds a tear or two

For the love that was denied her

She knows not what to do

And now she's drifting away

To a place that she can't name

She closes the window takes the flowers from her hair

And goes to her bed unbroken

Drifting off to sleep she is far away somewhere

In a land where dreamers aren't awoken

Where are you going

What is the sorrow really for

Don't you know the time might come again

For another lifetime
