Music & lyrics: john popper I ain't no broken-winged bird My reams fly high And i can't go on a memory Can't accept or deny I don't really know how to feel now But i'm getting used to that How instantly the feelings Never leave and still come back And that same old role has been played And that age old course has been laid And as usual, i'm afraid But by heaven or hell, i will not be swayed By the light of the moonlight serenade By the light of the moonlight serenade I think my heart is a racehorse Whenever you're around When there's usually a leaf It tumbles to the ground And i'm looking out my window At a brand new day's begin A junkie who is hurting For seeing you again And that same old role has been played And that age old course has been laid And as usual, i'm afraid But by heaven or hell, i will not be swayed By the light of the moonlight serenade By the light of the moonlight serenade But if it takes till forever I will try to understand Though i guessed i may never These wings won't let me land So i still keep on guessing Till an instant makes it clear This instant i am addressing The instant you get here I feel your soul coming on And soon will fill my mind I guess there are feelings You just can't leave behind The racehorse is off and running And headed round the bend Though jockey he is fearful Saying here we go again And that same old role has been played And that age old course has been laid And as usual, i'm afraid But by heaven or hell, i will not be swayed By the light of the moonlight serenade By the light of the moonlight serenade By the light of the moonlight serenade
