MOONRISE OVER THE MOUNTAINS
Copyright Michael E. Walker 1999

Verse 1

Late at night you awaken me
looking so lovely,
"Let’s go outside
I’ve got a surprise."
The wind it whispers through the trees
We drop slowly to our knees
and you shy,
then show me why.

Chorus

From under the arms of Ponderosa,
a riot of flowers aglow in the night,
dancing colors in the moonlight,
above an eye of pearly white:
a moonrise over the mountains
with you tonight.

Verse 2

Ever so gradually
and then quite suddenly
the moon breaks free
and starts to fly.
The mountains reach so desperately
frosted white against a sea of sparkling light,
like jewels in the night.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

In my dreams I see moonbeams
that teem in my bloodstream.
And it seems like destiny
that you should be here with me
to share this beautiful sight.

Verse 3

I start a fire, you move close to me.
I try hard but I still can’t see
the face of a man,
but I say I can.
Blue face, cheese pie
coyotes sing a lullaby
for you and I;
a natural high.

Repeat Chorus

Outro:

A moonrise over the mountains with you tonight.
