Christine Lavin - Shining My Flashlight On The Moon lyrics

There's just a trace of gold in the leaves there's just a touch of grey in my hair the stream along this road runs a little colder there's a hint of a chill in the air The blue sky is fading into purple late afternoon is gliding to a close with my hands on the wheel I wonder how it feels to be the last bloom of the summer or the first autumn rose So I pull off the highway drive these winding roads instead while thoughts of the bad years disappear 'cause up ahead off in the distance is a strange and soothing sight the mountains look like sleeping manatees this cool September night I leave the car by the roadside hike up a hill stars circle in slow motion here as they always will A million miles away from where I was this afternoon I wrap my misgivings in a tune while shining my flashlight on the moon I'm shining my flashlight it's gonna be a long night so I'm shining my flashlight on the moon
