Rising Moon Songtext
von Paul Kelly

We left the others in the fading light
Walked up that old road on a warm summer night
He said, "Let′s go high, there's a good chance, it′s soon
We'll get to see the rising moon"

When we reached the quarry, we can feel the bbreeze
We stood there a moment, searching the trees
Suddenly we saw it, that big red glow
And I took your hand and you didn't let go

And my whole heart jumped out of my chest
My whole heart jumped right out of my chest
My whole heart jumped out of my chest
My whole heart jumped right out of my chest

Well, the moon changes colour as it rose in the sky
We change each other under heaven′s bright eye
I might live to 100, I might die soon
But I′ll never forget that rising moon


And my whole heart jumped out of my chest
My whole heart jumped right out of my chest
My whole heart jumped out of my chest
My whole heart jumped right out of my chest

Now you're gone
Left me staring at the horizon (rising, rising, rising)
My heartbeat′s strong
Sometimes I just wish it would stopped
But it keeps pumping on

My whole heart jumped out of my chest
My whole heart jumped right out of my chest

My whole heart jumped out of my chest
My whole heart jumped right out of my chest (rising moon)
My whole heart jumped out of my chest (rising moon)
My whole heart jumped right out of my chest

Rising moon, rising moon
Rising moon, rising moon
