From the recording Politics and Religion

Lyrics

Spend a lot of time walking like there’s someplace to go
I figure if I keep moving there’s less for you to know
And when I’m in a crowded place I might be asked to leave
And if our eyes make contact you look the other way

I’ll sleep by the moonlight tonight

I had a setback in the eighties I thought I’d be alright
A small brush with the law like many of my friends would
There was something going on inside that changed me for good
Most of my friends are gone now some of us wish we were

I’ll sleep by the moonlight tonight

I wish I found I love that sounds real nice
They say there’s someone for everyone that wasn’t my luck
I worked hard I tried but something held me back
I don’t know what you call it I’m a little of track

I’ll sleep by the moonlight tonight
