Shannon McNally – Pale Moon lyrics

Oh I'd like to find myself trapped in some desert town with you
just me and you
my long black hair waving in the dry wind
me waving at you my lover from some ancient balcony
but like a thirsty vision I see you and you're gone
where could you have run to?
come back, come back, come back
but you're gone to California
and it's just my fate making me blue
why else would I see you today?

But I'm not in some desert town and you're not there with me
I'm underground in NYC
the city of perpetual motion, the city that never sleeps
that's alright I wasn't tired anyways
I was so close to getting clear
thought I had nothing to fear
you'd be on a plane and you'd be gone
and it would be done
there are eighteen million people in this town
I spent the day just bumming around
just to bump into you on Third Avenue.

It's a pale moon, burning sun
when will I see my only one
Pale moon, burning sun
when will I see my only one?

I think it's unbelievable,
I think it's incredible,
it's magical, it's tragic.
but I know we'll meet again someday
we'll be very far away
I'll know you and you'll know me
and we're gonna both agree
that we belong together
we belong together
we belong together

It's a pale moon, burning sun
when will I see my only one
Pale moon, burning sun
when will I see my only one?
