Lyrics

When The Moon Turns Blue
(partial capo on 3rd (6,5,4,3,2) Partial capo on 5th (4,3,2) in G)


G
Won’t you be my darling when the Moon turns blue?
C G
Won’t you be my darling when the Moon turns blue?
D C G
I’ll put stars in your hair with a crown of morning dew.

I worked on a fishing boat that never was found. (2x)
I woke up on the beach, mermaids all around.

I hooked up with the Circus for the roar of the crowd.
When I slipped off with Miss Midnight I wasn’t feeling too proud.

They tracked me through cities like a fire on the plains.
To shake them off my trail I had to lose my name.

I keep a single ruby hidden down in my shoe.
At the screen door of my heart, I wait for you.

The first time I saw you there were larks on the wing.
I thought you were a child till I heard you sing.

I see you walk in the morning, lighter than air.
Even the cats on the pavement stop and stare.

I see you at your window counting butterflies.
You raise your arms and they fill the sky.

Verse one.
