Desert Moon Lyrics By Dennis Deyoung

    is this the train to desert moon was all she said
    but i knew i’d heard that stranger’s voice before
    i turned to look into her eyes but she moved away
    she was standing in the rain
    trying hard to speak my name
    they say first love never runs dry

    the waiter poured our memories into tiny cups
    we stumbled over words we longed to hear
    we talked about the dreams we’d lost or given up
    when a whistle cut the night
    and shook silence from our lives
    as the last train rolled towards the dune

    those summer nights when we were young
    we bragged of things we’d never done
    we were dreamers only dreamers
    and in our haste to grow too soon
    we left our innocence on desert moon
    we were dreamers only dreamers
    on desert moon on desert moon
    on desert moon desert moon

    i still can hear the whisper of the summer night
    it echoes in the corners of my heart
    the night we stood and waited for the desert train
    all the words we meant to say
    all the chances swept away
    still remain on the road to the dune

    those summer nights when we were young
    we bragged of things we’d never done
    we were dreamers only dreamers
    moments pass and time moves on
    but dreams remain for just as long
    as there’s dreamers all the dreamers
    on desert moon on desert moon
    on desert moon desert moon
