Blue Moon

Late one night as she's tossin' and turnin'

She makes a delicate reach

And single-handedly solves the mystery

No other can teach

Her curves fill in, she smiles in the mirror

She's grown to like the reflection she sees

And the boys at school, she loved to watch 'em get nervous

And to put them at ease

On a midnight breeze, she hears

"Come out, come out, Eva, where the shadows play

Come out, come out, Eva, can't you steal away? Steal away"

Blue moon, blue moon

Beneath your beams, a hollow blooms

My eyes are on your window

Eva, what you gonna do?

She climbs on down in her white nightgown

Across the field in her bare feet

She puts her hand flat on my chest

And she laughs at my heartbeat

The light in her eyes, it is olden

A flicker of steel turns to golden, hey, hey, hey

Blue moon, blue moon

Back through the curtains and into her room

In my ear, a whisper lingers

"Darling, won't you come back soon?"
