Midnight Moon

music: Brad Wentworth

lyrics: Jay Wentworth

On the borrowed cabin 

at the foot of the hill 

a midnight moon

shines straight down, 

a knot appears

in the porch post

cut to replace the rotted one

The knots in pine burn intensely

like we burned together

for years. Then our

hand-built house burst 

into blazing tears 

Oh, Midnight moon, 

straight down, full and bright

show me a path

out of this night.

Losing a house is sad 

but losing a home is sadder

past erased,

the present fell hard

on the two of us

breaking our grip

until we parted.

the knots in pine burn intensely

like we burned together

for years. But then our

hand-built house burst 

into blazing tears 

Oh, Midnight moon, 

straight down, full and bright

show me a path

out of this

Light a path for me.

I’ve lingered too long 

and I can’t sleep.

I’ve lingered too long 

and I can’t sleep.

Photos in flame, our story in ashes

Can’t repair what’s gone forever

Maybe I’ll follow the moon past midnight?

Maybe I’ll follow the moon past midnight? 

Oh midnight moon, 

straight down, full and bright

show me a path

out of this night
