INSPIRED BY THE FULL MOON

Chorus:

When the full moon climbs over the mountain
Shining cold and lonesome up above:
Like a lone wolf howling through the darkness,
My heart aches for a woman I can love.
Hear that locomotive cross the desert
As it wails and thunders through the night:
And I know it's time to wander onward;
Find the love who'll make my world all right.

Verse #1:

Somewhere out there, beyond the far horizon,
Lies a destined answer to a prayer.
There's a woman; lonely, lost, and looking
For someone to come and rescue her out there.

Repeat chorus:

Verse #2:

In a plane, I'll fly across the heavens.
In a ship, I'll sail across the sea.
Through hot jungle and the freezing tundra,
Fight my way to true love's victory!

Repeat chorus:

Verse #3:

It's not right to live without a woman.
No one knows the lonely tears I've cried.
So, I'll search, as all the world I wander,
Until at last, my true love's by my side.

Repeat chorus:

Finish:

When the full moon climbs over the mountains...
