The Night the Moon Disappeared

from The Nickle Ride by Bill White

/

lyrics

People push and people pull
They send each other flowers when the moon is full
people fly people fall
Some people bash their heads against the wall
But it don’t do them no good
to say goodbye when they should be treasuring the years
Because the time is gonna come when the moon is gonna disappear

And so she tells me her feelings didn’t last
Whats done is done Whats past is past
So just hang up the phone
And leave me the hell alone
Go take a walk with rin tin tin
and never call me again
I don’t even want to be your friend
I just want this thing to end

Ok then.. I wont fly I wont fall
I promise you I wont call
And I wont push if you dont pull
But I will send you a rose when the moon is full
Every month through every year
Until the night the moon disappears

For thirty years there has been no moon
But the dish is still chasing the spoon.
Across the the sky where the lovebirds flew
But now the color of the night is black and blue
The referee made his call
Everybody was having a ball
Except the ones whose love had died
They went and took the nickel ride
Darkness fell and the audience cheered
On the night the moon disappeared
