(GUITAR INTRO)
when that moon is on the rise
and the light gets in your eyes
and stirs somethin' that used to lie
inside you 'till you ask why

why ain't I just passin' by
like that moon that's on the rise
it shouldn't come as no surprise
I been back here time and time

like that sun that brings the spring
I know I'll be back again
if you don't know what you do
when it's over and we're through

watch what happens every spring
what was dead is live again
so why should you be odd man out
you should forget all your doubts

while some people look for purpose
their life passes by
right before their eyes
and if the purpose is to do good
that's an easy way to live everyday
if you would
(GUITAR SOLO)

so when the moon is on the rise
and that light gets in your eyes
and stirs something' that used to lie
inside you 'till you ask why

why ain't I just passin' by
like that moon that's on the rise
it shouldn't come as no surprise
I been back here time and time

like that sun that brings the spring
I know that I'll be back again
like that moon that's on the rise
I know I'll be back in time
I know I'll be back in time
I know I'll be back in time
I know I'll be back in time
