Midnight Moonlight




Peter Rowan
w/ Sharon Gilchrist, Bryn Davies & Tony Rice
Midnight Moonlight
Live Oak, FL
3/26/05






if you ever feel lonesome
when you're down in San Antone
beg steal or borrow two nickels or a dime
to call me on the phone
I'll meet you at Alamo Mission
where we can say our prayers
the Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother
will heal us as we kneel there
in the moonlight in the midnight
in the moonlight midnight moonlight

if you ever feel sorrow
for the deeds you have done
with no hope for tomorrow
in the setting of the sun
and the ocean is howling
for the things that might have been
and that last good morning sunrise
will be the brightest you've ever seen
in the moonlight in the midnight
in the moonlight midnight moonlight

--Peter Rowan
