THE MOONBEAM SONG
(Harry Nilsson)

Nilsson - 1971

Have you ever watched a moonbeam
As it slid across your windowpane
Or struggled with a bit of rain
Or dance about the weathervane
Or settle on a moving train
And wonder where the train has been
 
Or on a fence with bits of crap
Around its bottom
Blown there by a windbeam
Who searches for a moonbeam
Who was last seen 
Looking at the tracks
Of the careless windbeam
Or moving to the tracks
Of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides
Of the weathervane
And the bits of rain
And the windowpane
And the eyes of those
Who think they saw what happened
 
Have you ever watched a moonbeam
As it slid across your windowpane
Or struggled with a bit of rain
Or dance about the weathervane
Or settle on a moving train
And wonder where the train has been

Ah-ah-aah-ah
Ah-ah-aah-ah
Ah-ah-aah-ah 
Looking at the tracks
Of the careless windbeam
And moving to the tracks
Of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides
Of the weathervane
And the bits of rain
And the windowpane
And the eyes of those
Who think they saw what happened
