lyrics

He says, "It's lovely." Startled, I ask, "The moon?"
"The stars and the sea and this whole month of June!"
He offers his jacket (I guess I look cold)
And he covers my shoulders.

I feel his hand next to my arm - no wedding band,
Would you believe it?
Am I amiss? Could he be the one? I think of a kiss...
And don't receive it.

Maybe he's just shy. Maybe I
expect too much too soon.
Enter a swan: "Have you met my bride?
We'll be we'd by the end of June!"

Moon overboard.

I stare at the waves. Is it hurt? Is it dead?
They're talking, I'm talking, but what's being said.
I think of my love life (rather, the lack thereof),
And whether God purposefully thwarts me in love?

Understand, the lack of a plan
is a thought that gives me a scare,
But there's a fine, intense storyline
That includes what I eat and wear,

And the moon overboard.

We pull into port. I'm so ready to go.
I float by a bakery wafting of dough.
I wander inside with my shekel in hand
And stroll up to the counter.

A gentleman asks, "What'll you have?"
"Anything good. I've had a rough one."
"Got just the thing, it's on the house."
He smiles at me. God, that's a good one.

Leaves the room and returns with a bloom
Which he gives to me tenderly.
"...Can we talk? Let's go for a walk,
And I'll tell you the irony

Of the moon overboard."

Wherever there's water and lovesongs to croon,
There's always potential for upside-down moon.
