Lyrics Peter Murphy

Peter Murphy

Face The Moon

I looked at all the women

Checking out their features

One walked a fine line

While the other's drew it

One's lips came close

One finger tripped it

One glistened in the sun

But none were coming from it

I threw a look

I faced the moon

Asked the maker

'Where were you'?

I threw a look

Faced the moon

Where were you?

As rivers run

And moonlight shines

I'll catch her in the mirror

And in a our land that time forgot

We'll catch them close

One finger to trip with

One glistening the sun

Then see you coming from it

You threw the look

I faced the moon

Asked the maker where were you

We threw the look

Faced the moon

Then there was you

As rivers run

And moonlight shines

I'll catch her in the mirror

And in our land that time forgot

One lip came close

One finger tripped it

I threw the look

We faced the moon

Asked the maker where were you

You threw the look

I faced the moon

Where were you?
