Luke Sayers & The Last to Know

Moonlight

Vs 1 – Sun is sinkin’ in the lake

The fire’s goin’ strong

It’s always been my favorite time

And I’ve waited all day long

For stories and for bad jokes

Like only grampa knows

For battle scars and cold beers

And how the laughter flows

Pre Chorus – I said “Papa what’s your secret?

How do you stay to young?”

He said “I just remind myself, before the day’s begun…”

Chorus – Pay attention to the moonlight

Stand outside in the rain

Keep that morning star in sight

And aint no sunrise ever been in vain

 Make it right when ya done wrong

Then you sing about it in your own song

Make love, don’t just take love every day

That’s what I say

Vs 2 – Jagged circle on his chest

Where the bullet ripped clean through

Is now a crown of thorns

In his crucifix tattoo

And with all that liquid courage

I told him of my plan

To join the U.S. Army

So I could be a man

Pre Chorus – He said “War don’t give ya nothing,

‘cept nightmares you can’t shake”

“So if you’re lookin’ for advice

This is what you take”

Chorus – Pay attention to the moonlight

Stand outside in the rain

Keep that morning star in sight

And aint no sunrise ever been in vain

Make it right when ya done wrong

Then you sing about it in your own song

Make love, don’t just take love every day

Bridge – That’s what I say to myself with every mile that I run

I even wrote it in a letter to my seven month old son

Some things you just can’t hear enough,

when you’re fighting through each day

I know what to do, when I’ve lost my way

Chorus
