BY THE LIGHT OF A BLOODSHOT MOON
John Soeder
© 2009

By the light
Of a bloodshot moon
I did
What I had to do
Now don’t the moonlight on the water
Look like a million eyes staring back at you
By the light
Of a bloodshot moon

In every heart there is a darkness
That’s just the way it goes
Under cover of darkness
I got a secret nobody else knows
Over yonder in the blink of an eye
Down the road to ruin
By the light
Of a bloodshot moon

Just when you think you got away it
Turns out you didn’t get away with it
And even when you get away with it
You never really get away with it, no

Ain’t no rest for the wicked
You can take it from me
I lie awake in a cold cold sweat
Don’t believe what I see
A million fingers pointing at me
From across the room
By the light
Of a bloodshot moon

I got a secret nobody else knows
I got a secret nobody else knows

Now don’t the moonlight on the water
Look like a million eyes staring back at you
By the light
Of a bloodshot moon
