Music & lyrics: john popper      I ain't no broken-winged bird   My reams fly high   And I can't go on a memory   Can't accept or deny   I don't really know how to feel now   But I'm getting used to that   How instantly the feelings   Never leave and still come back      And that same old role has been played   And that age old course has been laid   And as usual, I'm afraid   But by heaven or hell, I will not be swayed   By the light of the moonlight serenade   By the light of the moonlight serenade      I think my heart is a racehorse   Whenever you're around   When there's usually a leaf   It tumbles to the ground   And I'm looking out my window   At a brand new day's begin   A junkie who is hurting   For seeing you again      And that same old role has been played   And that age old course has been laid   And as usual, I'm afraid   But by heaven or hell, I will not be swayed   By the light of the moonlight serenade   By the light of the moonlight serenade      But if it takes till forever   I will try to understand   Though I guessed I may never   These wings won't let me land   So I still keep on guessing   Till an instant makes it clear   This instant I am addressing   The instant you get here   I feel your soul coming on   And soon will fill my mind   I guess there are feelings   You just can't leave behind   The racehorse is off and running   And headed round the bend   Though jockey he is fearful   Saying here we go again      And that same old role has been played   And that age old course has been laid   And as usual, I'm afraid   But by heaven or hell, I will not be swayed   By the light of the moonlight serenade   By the light of the moonlight serenade      By the light of the moonlight serenade
