Neon Moon
Dave Audé Lyrics

When the sun goes down on my side of town
As the day ends in the area around me

That lonesome feeling comes to my door
I often feel lonely during this time

And the whole world turns blue
Everything seems dull and depressing

There's a rundown bar across the railroad tracks
There is a shabby bar that I frequently visit

I got a table for two way in the back
I reserved a table for two at the far end of the bar

But I sit alone and think of losing you
However, I am sitting here alone and cannot help but think I have lost you

I spend most every night
I often spend every single night

Beneath the light
Beneath the gleam

Of a neon moon
Of the bar's neon light with a moon-like shape

If you lose your one and only
In case you lose your significant other

There's always room here for the lonely
The bar welcomes and accommodates those who are alone

To watch your broken dreams
To witness your shattered aspirations

Dance in and out of the beams
Moving within and beyond the neon light

I think of two young lovers running wild and free
I imagine how young couples are happy and carefree

I close my eyes and sometimes see
I even close my eyes to see this vision

You in the shadows of this smoke-filled room
I picture you in the dark of this smoky room

No telling how many tears I've sat here and cried
I have lost count of the tears I have shed here

Or how many lies that I've lied
I cannot recall how many times I have told lies to myself

Telling my poor heart he'll come back someday
Assuring myself that you will return one day

Oh, but I'll be alright
However, I will be okay

As long as there's light
As long as there is illumination

From a neon moon
From the neon light of the bar

Jukebox plays on, drink by drink
The jukebox plays continuously, drink after drink

And the words of every sad song seem to say what I think
The lyrics of every depressing song resonate with me

And this pain inside me, it ain't never gonna end
This intense emotional pain will never cease

Come watch your broken dreams
Come and observe your shattered aspirations

Dance in and out of the beams
Move within and beyond the neon light

Of a neon moon
Of the neon light resembling a moon

Oh, watch your broken dreams
Observe your shattered aspirations

Dance in and out of the beams
Move within and beyond the neon light

Of a neon moon
Of the neon light resembling a moon
