I

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
