When the Moon Comes Out

Music and Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©2004 Moockshake Music

Everything’s gonna look better
Than it did this afternoon
Everything’s gonna seem simpler
When I see the evening moon
It may not last forever
It may not change my life
But everything’s gonna look better
When that moon comes out tonight

The thoughts that I’ve been thinking
And the lines around my face
The reasons I’m not sleeping
Tonight will be erased
It could be just illusion
The lure of fractured light
But everything’s gonna look better
When that moon comes out tonight

Most folks think it’s easier
To see things in bright light
To me, the world’s much clearer
When that moon comes out at night

It may not solve my problems
It may be just time borrowed
The world may not have changed at all
When the sun comes up tomorrow
But I’ll take just an evening
To feel like things are right
‘Cuz everything’s gonna look better
When that moon comes out tonight
I know the stars will all be shining
And I’ll find that second sight
‘Cuz everything’s gonna look better
When that moon comes out tonight
