Hiding behind that woolen scarf
Your eyes gave it all away
And I often wondered in which book you read
How much you had to pay
And the things I tried to teach you, you already knew
And the hangers-on reminded you of what you had to do
And there we were living in moonlight
And there we were laughing at the day
And there we were living in moonlight
They all knew about the baby
And all those hoops you had to leap
But I never once pretended
That still waters must run deep
On the highway of the upright, our backs against the wall
You were proud I took the fall
There we were living in moonlight
There we were laughing at the day
And there we were living in moonlight
You never have to feel
That there are people you can blame
‘Cause the gun that you just loaded
Is impossible to aim
My heart is like an ocean – it’ll never let you down
You’ll know better this time around.
Living in moonlight
There we were laughing at the day
There we were living in moonlight
There we were laughing at the day
There we were
