Silver Moon

Michael Nesmith
Top 100 over 1971

With The First National Band

See the lazy windmills slowly turningCutting up the marble canyons of the skySee the dust around my feet go churningMoving with the winds down the highwaysOf goodbyes

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moonLooking over maps of memories for the roadStanding in the lonely light of the silver moonWith the unexpected destination of my home

Half the thoughts I'm thinking speak in sighsAs that same old wave of lonliness returnsAnd I can see you when I close my eyesSpeaking very softly as you turn

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moonLooking over maps of memories for the roadStanding in the lonely light of the silver moonWith the unexpected destination of my home

Now I must goGo and let go

Standing in the lonely light of the silver moonLooking over maps of memories for the roadStanding in the lonely light of the silver moonWith the unexpected destination of my home
