The summer night is soft and still As I descend this lonely hill Into the city lyin' down below I don't need to see the sky The emptiness I feel inside Tells me something I already know Chorus: There's a ... (Must be a...) Fool moon out tonight And it's shining bright on the lonely lives and the love they'll never find
And like a fool I'm thinking of you and I wanna cry Must be a fool moon out tonight The smoky bar is dark and loud I'm running with a swinging crowd So many here together so alone They're making moves, it's gettin' late The desperate game accelerates They're willing to go anywhere but home (repeat chorus)
