Moon Night

It was a cold winter day when we went to your place on the coast
There was not a soul in town, nor even a ghost
Only the waves crashing on the sand
The house was dark and damp, I loved the smell of must
Like an old book buried in the dust
I’ll always remember you in the dark that night
Your shadow in the doorway in the pale moonlight
There were pictures on the wall with you and your folks
The light from my match with a breeze turned into smoke
You took my hand and showed me the way
You threw me on the bed and woke up the springs
I wanted you more than anything
I’ll always remember you in the dark that night
Your shadow in the doorway in the pale moonlight
