lyrics

In the moonlight, in the distance
Drums were whispering a heartbeat
In the distance, in the moonlight
Waves were breaking up the shore

Across the universe
Giant gears were turning
And we were part of it
Back then the constellations
Seemed so close to me
So full of mystery

Barefoot down a gravel road
A young man spoke in my direction
With a slight Italian accent
Shared a full moon invitation

His voice just barely
Loud enough to hear
Still it lingers
Sweetly in my ears

All along those dusty roads
The crickets called out to the toads
All the way down to the coast
The night that I remember most

Across the universe
Shooting stars were falling
And so I made a wish
Back then the constellations
Were nameless to me
So full of mystery

I found you and you found me
A makeshift disco by the sea
Salt and seaweed in the air
Barefoot, free, without a care

We danced like children
Spirits in the night
Fearless, timeless
Weightless in the moonlight

It washed over me
Washed over me
Ooo over me, ah oh over me
Ah oh over me, ah, oh over me

In the moonlight, in the distance
Drums were whispering a heartbeat
