Lyrics Rising Moon - Paul Kelly

Rising Moon

We left the others in the fading light
Walked up that old road on a warm summer night
You said let’s go higher, there’s a good chance that soon
We’ll get to see the rising moon
When we reached the quarry, we could feel the breeze
We stood there a moment, searching the trees
Then suddenly we saw it, that big red glow
I took your hand and you didn’t let go
And my poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
And my poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
Well, the moon changes colour as it rose in the sky
And we changed each other under heaven’s bright eye
I might live to a hundred, I might die soon
But I’ll never forget that rising moon
'Cause my poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
My poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
Now you’ve gone
And left me staring at the horizon
My heart beats strong
Sometimes I just wish it would stop
But it keeps pumping on
My poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
My poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest (Rising moon)
My poor heart jumped out of my chest (Rising moon)
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
