Looking for the Moon

Lyrics

My heart is in the mountains, while my body's on this train
 My head is anywhere but in today
 It's cloudy in the city, and they say it looks like rain
 God, just once I'd long to hear the conductor say
 Are you lookin' for the moon?
 Would you dance with her tonight?
 Would you chase across the shadows as she goes slippin' out of sight?
 Leavin' common sense behind you for a joy that ends so soon
 Rushin' through the forest blind, never knowin' what you'll find
 Lookin' for the moon
 The train is filled with strangers, and every stop adds more
 We're racin' toward the glass and granite walls
 While I'm dreamin' of my river where the rushing rapids roar
 And from a somewhere deep inside my spirit calls
 Are you lookin' for the moon?
 Would you dance with her tonight?
 Would you chase across the shadows as she goes slippin' out of sight?
 Leavin' common sense behind you for a joy that ends so soon
 Rushin' through the forest blind, never knowin' what you'll find
 Lookin' for the moon
 ♪
 We pull in to the station and I join the taxi line
 It's rainin' now like it means to rain all day
 This city has ten million dreams and not one of them is mine
 So I turn myself around and I walk away
 And I'll go lookin' for the moon, and I'll dance with her tonight
 And I'll chase across the shadows as she goes slippin' out of sight
 Leavin' common sense behind me, for a joy that ends so soon
 Rushin' through the forest blind, never knowin' what I'll find
 Lookin' for the moon
 Are you looking for the moon?
