Moonlight Rider: Love's Echo in the Night Sky
Lyrics
Wave to me in the morning light
Expressing a farewell gesture, wishing goodbye in the morning light.
I will feel no pain
Anticipating a painless emotional experience when separated.
When you're gone, when you're out of sight
Acknowledging the emotional challenge when the person is out of sight.
I will make you in the sand
Symbolically creating an image of the loved one in the sand.
Just to feel you with my hands
Expressing a desire to physically feel and touch the imagined presence.
Let my love be the morning star
Describing love as a guiding force, like the morning star.
Think of me when you're alone
Requesting the person to think about the speaker in moments of solitude.
The golden dust over Kandahar
Referencing a distant place, Kandahar, as the loved one's home.
That's the place that you call home
Confirming Kandahar as the place where the person feels a sense of belonging.
Think of me when you're alone
Reiterating the request for the person to think about the speaker when alone.
Oooh, moonlight rider
Addressing the person as a "moonlight rider," possibly referencing a free spirit.
I know that I can't make you stay
Accepting the inevitability that the person cannot be made to stay.
Oooh, wandering lover
Describing the person as a wanderer with distant blue eyes.
You lay those blue eyes oh so far away
Highlighting the emotional distance created by the person's gaze.
Rest those blue eyes oh so far away
Emphasizing the considerable remoteness of the person's blue eyes.
Chrystal skies, they are lovers' arms
Depicting crystal skies as an embrace, creating a comforting atmosphere.
Hugging you good night
Imagining the sky's embrace as a way of saying good night.
I'm the wind blowing from afar
Describing the speaker as a wind that reaches the person from a distance.
In your bones and in your eyes
Penetrating the person emotionally, reaching their bones and eyes.
Feel the rush between your thighs
Highlighting a sensory and emotional connection, invoking a rush of feelings.
Oooh, moonlight rider

I know that I can't make you stay
Reiterating the acceptance that the person cannot be compelled to stay.
Oooh, wandering lover
Recalling the person as a wandering lover with distant blue eyes.
You lay those blue eyes oh so far away
Stressing the emotional distance created by the person's gaze.
Rest those blue eyes oh so far away
Emphasizing the considerable remoteness of the person's blue eyes.
On a summer night you'll come right back my way
Anticipating the person's return on a summer night, expressing hope.
Ride the wind behind a westbound train
Imagining the person's journey, riding the wind behind a westbound train.
And you'll kiss me in the pouring rain
Visualizing a romantic reunion in the pouring rain.
