Song For The day May 6th 2024

My choice today Graham Parker & The Rumour their 1977 album Stick To Me and the track Watch The moon Come Down with a live version performed in 2012
Lyric
Watch The moon Come Down
In this dirty town there's nothing going for me No show's going down that I would want to see
Nothing but the midnight train In this shady street on a top floor flat
Women take their sheets down to the laundromat And as the night falls on this town
I'm going to watch the moon come down Watch the moon come down
I'm gonna watch the moon come down Watch it come down
As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome
Splashing through the gutters and the sand
The birds move in the rafters hearing echoes of the laughter
From children in a playground close at hand
And hands inside my pockets, staring at the light sockets
Everyone's been blown out everyone's been thrown out
I said, "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby"
I'm going to watch the moon come down Watch the moon come down
I'm gonna watch the moon come down Watch it come down
If I stay out all night, test the midnight train's headlights
Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend
Now who've I got to let down Tell me somebody with their head down
Bargin' into solid ground in the end In the end, yeah in the end
Waitin' for the end, arrive to the end, hey, hey
I said, "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby"
Watch the moon come down x3
Yes, I'm going to watch the moon come down
Yeah, I'm going to watch the moon come down
Like a midnight train uh huh Uh, uh, I'm going to watch the moon come down
Watch it come down Yes, I'm going to watch the moon come down
Like a midnight train
