Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
The lily robes itself with splendor
The candlewick martyrs itself to the flame
Will my quiet prayers be loud enough to hear?
Will that brass fanfare fall on deafened ears?
There must be something in the air
Tilt-a-whirl’s at the county fair
Or the moon is slipping into Monterey Bay
Two strangers
Taking cover
Next to each other on the train
Had their tickets kept them together
They’d be lovers had Cupid narrowed his aim
Wish that satellite was a lazy shootin’ star
Wish old Lyra played a Delta blues guitar
There must be something in the air
Call me sentimental I don’t care
The moon is slipping into Monterey Bay
Night terrors it’s a feeling
Like you’re needing a little rain
We are dancing the tarantella
With a gypsy tambourine
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Will you hold me close until I fall asleep?
Will you wipe the tears that fall down on my cheek?
There must be something in the air
A heartache stirring under there
Or the moon is slipping into Monterey Bay
