Moon on the Water
BEAT CRUSADERS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gently in the night of one fine day
On my way
Looking for a moment with my dear
Full moon waves
Slowly on the surface of the lake
You were there
Smiling in my arms for all those years
What a fool
I don't know 'bout tomorrow
What it's like to be
Ah...
I was fool
Couldn't let myself to go
Even though I feel
The end
Old love affair
Floating like a bird resting her wings
You were there
Smiling in my arms for all those years
