Joel Plaskett Emergency Light Of The Moon lyrics

In late September
I drove across the prairie
The mountains behind me
And the ocean beyond
This country's a coalmine
And I'm a canary
Turn out the headlights and the radio on

I remember the words
I forget the tune
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
Under the stars, you stagger and swoon
The light of the moon
The light of the moon

Sunrise oh sunrise
Will you wait for me
Don't come too soon

Through the night's deep abyss
Flirt the waitress in Sault Ste Marie
Hear music and voices through static and hiss

I remember the words
I forget the tune
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
Under the stars, you stagger and swoon
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
The light of the moon
