I drove the highway all night long with 2 gallons in the tank
The back was loaded down with quarters I had stolen from the bank
And the night wind from New Orleans was like a scene from my youth
And I thought of her lying on the bed with her red, and then blonde hair
And I longed to be with her, and I wished that I was there
But wishes are for suckers, made weak by the truth
And she said I think you're the one I can trust
And I said I don't think that I've taken enough
But I want to drown in this night
And I want to live by moonlight - live by moonlight
Do you remember that day by the lake, when the pain was just a dream?
And no words were spoken, but the truth could by seen
By the hunger in your eyes, and the reflection in mine?
Then I told her that I'd stay, even as I turned to go
Because there are pictures in my memory that I could never show
Not even to the one I should have never left behind
And she said I think you're the one I can trust
And I said I don't think that I've taken enough
But I want to drown in this night
And I want to live by moonlight - live by moonlight
And now I scream that I think you're the one I can trust
And she says I - I've finally taken enough
But I want to drown in this night
And I want to live by moonlight - live by moonlight
