Full moon on the rise
and Rose riding thru the desert nite
and I in the evening’s lite

Kathy gone to her home
and I’m alone
what is real?

I wish her luck across the desert waste
and I’m sorry for the pain I give her
and, Kathy, so mixed up
leaves me confused as ever.

Rose rides the desert beneath the full moon
and my apartment holds Danny and I safe
against her absence
These days and hours, so electric, I’ll never forget
Love and pain in all proportions
and time slowing down, day by day
against the history nodes passing here
Nine years coming down beneath the full moon
and all our friends wait to see what’s right
I feel this history like the veins in my skin
beneath the hours I’m living in

Endless dream I and thee
my life and my song.
I never know from day to day
if what I’m doing is right or wrong

I think all my life I’d like to live
without getting old or giving in
to all the things that drive us within
I want to live!

Capture the thing you’re feeling here
the turning year the change of your loves
and all of your tears, boy, can’t you see
got no one you can call
though you say you’re very tall
