and the scent of the lemon trees
I hear the tempest charge
and the thunder of hooves
Rattle through the hollow streets
whilst high above the roofs
The fractured clouds disappear to show
Yeah, they show what I know
The moon, the moon, the moon has a halo
And if the same fate falls on me,
leave the veranda open wide
And if the same fate falls on me,
leave the verandah open wide
The bloodstains of the night
That in death there can never be glory
And the bullet holes in the
So here I stand, my arms open wide
Where the wailing of this life
The fractured clouds disappear
The moon, the moon, the moon,
I pray that when my love has died
And if the same fate falls on me,
leave the morale just low and dry
The moon, the moon, the moon has set
And if the same fate falls on me,
leave the morale just low
The moon, the moon, the moon has a halo
And if the same fate falls on me,
