Moonlighting Lyrics - Leo Sayer

He sees her at the same time every night 

At the Mexican discotheque 

She gives him French kisses 

He gives her French cigarettes 

They sit at the same table every time 

The lights are low 

But their eyes shine 

Just digging the music from those sweet soul bands 

She keeps him outta fights, holds on to his hand 

He whispers slowly tonights the night 

Months of planning so its gotta be right 

Under the table her bag is busting at the seams 

She made sure to bring everything 

Moonlighting, theyre leaving everything 

Moonlighting, theyre losing all their friends 

Moonlighting, its the only way, its frightening 

But it means theyll stay together 

Theyre gonna make it together 

His blue morris van is parked in an alley 

Just by Montague street 

His friend Eddie he did the respray 

So he couldnt drive it all last week 

And it cost most of the money that he had saved up 

To pay Eddies receipt 

But he figures its worth it cos the disguise is a must 

When they go missing theyre gonna look for the van first 

She whispers slowly itll be alright 

I took some cash from my building society 

And my monthly check came in just right 

If only they knew they werent giving it away 

9:15 Monday morning at the printing works 

The boss notices someones not clocked in 

And the water department of the council offices has a message 

That Mrs. parks daughter is missing 

Meanwhile the Carlisle turnoff of the M6 Motorway 

Drinking cold black coffee eating hot cup cakes 

She stares at him with his beard unshaved 

Wonders at his powers of staying awake 

He whispers slowly you did just fine 

They shared the driving all through the night 

She laughs my mother will have lost her mind 

Were only ten miles to Gretna theyre three hundred behind
