Lyrics

Moon in the Bed

Paul Kelly (Mushroom Music)

I have the moon in my bed

Every night down she falls

I have the moon in my bed

I had nothing, now I have it all

And I have the sun in my heart

When I rise by her side

I have the sun in my heart

Even through the darkest night

She can save me from myself

Make me feel like someone else

When I hardly know myself

I have the moon in my bed

I have the sun in my heart

I have the stars at my feet

I have the moon in my bed
