(Basic Riff)
He said I must be dreaming
But I thought I heard the sound
The sound that lovers make
As they drop down from the window
Quiet as cats, across the courtyard
Moving from shadow to shadow
Past the guards to the forest
So quiet in her still reflection
Drawing them down to the lake, to the center
Of her attention
(End of Riff-basic chord sequence)
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
Steal the moon tonight
I just never had the strength
And on the westbank a boat is being pulled across the sand
As they move so softly
They slip into water
As they don't break the moon's reflection
And drift like a cloud
To the center
Beneath the moon's attention
Still drawing
Still drawing
Steal the moon tonight
Before the morning
Steal the moon tonight
I want to drown in your moondream
I've seen you rising from shore to shore
I want to drown in your moondream
I've seen you rising
Steal the moon tonight
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinneee
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinneee
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinneee
G D C (and repeat and fade)
