Where the moon shines
The streets are damp and cold
Where the moon shines
Dreams are bought and sold
Under the blue light's flood
Secrets are never told

Where the moon shines
Is where the darkness lives
Where the moon shines
On all the day forbids
The mysteries of the shadows
No one remembers to forgive

Someday soon I know I'm gonna leave here
Leave my life to die
Someday I'll be walking
In the sweet by and by

Where the moon shines
So far away from home
Where the moon shines
Everyone is alone
The boulevards and avenues
Are no place to atone

Someday soon I know I'm gonna go there
Leave my life to die
Someday I'll be walking
In the sweet by and by
