There goes the moonlit man

Got a suitcase in his hand

He's moving on

Down the road

Things tend to fall apart starting with his heart

He kisses you lightly and he leaves

Am
Leaves your sleeping body

Curled and dreaming around your smile, your smile

I'm speaking about love now

                            Em/G
And how the lights of love go down

                    Am
You're in the back room washing his clothes

Em/G
Love's like that, you know, it's like a tidal flow

Am                                    Em/G                  F
And the past with its fierce undertow won't ever let us go

Won't ever let you go
[Verse 4]
Em/G
If I could move the night I would

Am
And I would turn the world around if I could

Em/G
There's nothing wrong with loving something

Am
You can't hold in your hand

Em/G
You're sitting on the edge of your bed

            Am
Smoking and shaking your head

                           Em/G
Well there's nothing wrong with loving things

     F                 C  G F Am
That cannot even stand
[Verse 5]
Em/G
Well there goes your moony man

Am
With his suitcase in his hand

Em/G
Well every road is lined with animals

Am
That rise from their blood and walk

Em/G
Well the moon won't get a wink of sleep

Am
If I stay all night and talk

Em/G
If I stay all night and talk
Am
