Van Dyke Parks - Palm Tree and Moon lyrics

This is so far from China The starlight like to blind ya A lover's way of saying come home soon Put it in a letter Let each star there remind ya It's time for love to find ya A palm tree in the moon When a comet comes out to fall Why on earth do we feel so small Must be heaven that we hear call And in this natural planet I feel like catching your hand Out under our palm tree and moon I put it in a letter How could I love you better And dropped it in a bottle in the sea Put it in a letter I don't know where it went so I sent to Sacramento Said you were meant for me What a time to be talking small But a crime not to talk at all When it's heaven that we hear call There ain't a cloud in the sky No allowing for why Out under our palm tree and moon Put it in a letter Put it in a letter You were meant for me What a time to be talking small But a crime not to talk at all When it's heaven that we hear call And for us two silhouettes It's just as good as it gets Out under our palm tree and moon
