Sad Moon Lyrics - Bruce Hornsby

I think maybe I knew her in school 

In my memory's faded view 

I remember years ago 

Her name I barely knew 

Years later I saw her in town 

Knocking on my window talking loud 

She said, "Baby do you need a date 

Or just a little foolin' around?" 

Way down where the red light's low 

Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow 

Crawlin' where the sun don't show 

'Neath the sad moon 

Walking the streets, all on display 

Standing there and laying in wait 

She looks at me and I look away 

'Neath the sad moon 

I said, "Thanks, no I don't need that 

But as she turned her naked back 

She turned to go 

And I just had to stare at her walking away 

Looking out there it might be me 

But for the grace of God oh I can see 

A grain of sand, a strand of hair 

A chromosome or someone's dare 

Way down where the red light's low 

Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow 

Crawlin' where the sun don't show 

'Neath the sad moon 

Walking the streets, all on display 

Standing there and laying in wait 

She looks at me and I look away 

'Neath the sad moon 

Couldn't help but follow her 

Felt so bad but couldn't stop 

Curiosity's got me 

Worth a damn I know I'm not 

I put her down but want her too 

Ashamed to say I want her a lot 

Guess I'll go and move along 

Let it go, let it drop 

Way down where the red light's low 

Slinkin' down where the bad seeds grow 

Crawlin' where the sun don't show 

'Neath the sad moon 

Walking the streets, all on display 

Standing there and laying in wait 

She looks at me and I look away 

'Neath the sad moon
