Moonlight, moonlight I'm begging you to swallow me I'm giving up the fight tonight There is laughter in the raindrops There is weeping in the wind I am watching from your closet As you fall in love with him Things are never as you plan them Life is never what you pray It is always so disappointing When you wake up everyday Moonlight, moonlight I'm begging you to swallow me I'm giving up the fight tonight I picked you poison ivy Made a big antique bouquet You said you'd meet me at the dancehall So I waited there all day Now the stars up there in heaven Look as lonely as can be But I swear that they're not half as Lost and lonesome as me Moonlight, moonlight I'm begging you to swallow me I'm giving up the fight tonight Now I sit here with my hammer And a battered, bloody eye Put the claw end to my forehead It's so hard to say goodbye Moonlight, moonlight I'm begging you to swallow me I'm giving up the fight tonight
