Jesus Of The Moon |
I stepped out of the St. James Hotel, I’d left you behind curled up like a child |
A change is gonna come, and as the door whispered shut |
I walked on down the high-windowed hall |
You lay sleeping on the unmade bed, the weatherman on the television |
In the St. James Hotel said that the rains are gonna come |
And I stepped out on the streets all sparkling clean with the early morning dew |
Maybe it was you or maybe it was me? |
You came on like a punch in the heart |
You lying there with the light on your hair |
like a Jesus on the moon |
A Jesus of the planets and the stars |
Well, I kept thinking about what the weatherman said |
And if the voices of the living can be heard by the dead |
Well, the day is gonna come when we find out |
And in some kinda way I take a little comfort from that now and then |
Cause people often talk about being scared of change |
But for me I’m more afraid of things staying the same |
Cause the game is never won by standing in any one place for too long |
Maybe it was you or maybe it was me? |
But there was a chord in you I could not find to strike |
You lying there with all the light in your hair like a Jesus of the moon |
A Jesus of the planets and the stars |
I see the many girls walking down the empty streets |
And maybe once or twice one of them smiles at me |
You can’t blame anyone for saying hello |
I say hey, I say hello, I say hello |
Will it be me or will it be you? |
One must stay and one depart |
You lying there in a St. James Hotel bed |
Like a Jesus of the moon |
A Jesus of the planets and the stars |
I say hello, hello, hello |
