Moonlighting Lyrics - Sayer Leo

Leo Sayer & Frank Farrell 

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 "tonight's the night" 

months of planning so it's gotta be right 

under the table her bag is busting at the seams 

she made sure to bring everything 

moonlighting 

they're leaving everything 

moonlighting 

they're losing all their friends 

moonlighting 

it's the only way 

it's frighening 

but it means they'll stay 

together 

they're 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 couldn't drive it all last week 

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

to pay eddie's receipt 

but he figures it's worth it 'cos the disguise is a must 

when they go missing they're gonna look for the van first 

she whispers slowly "it'll be alright" 

I took some cash from my building society 

and my monthy check came in just right 

if only they knew they weren't giving it away 

9:15 monday morning at the printing works 

the boss notices someone's not clocked in 

and the water department of the council offices has a message 

that mrs. park's 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 

we're only ten miles to gretna 

they're three hundred behind
