Moonshine
Dancing Through Midnight: Embracing Love under the Moonshine Moon
Lyrics
Well my eyes are closed, but my heart's on fire
Feeling emotionally intense despite physical rest
'Cause the clock is approaching the midnight hour
Approaching a significant moment, possibly symbolic of change
I leave my window open, all the lights are out
Vulnerable and open, inviting something in
And from the darkest night comes the lightest shout
Hope emerging from darkness
Moonshine, moonshine moon
Repetition emphasizing the moon's significance
The cow jumped over the moonshine moon
Playful imagery, surrealism
Moonshine, moonshine moon
Continued emphasis on the moon's importance in love
I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon
Expressing love in the moon's presence
Well as we walk through the streets, there's no-one nowhere
Isolation, a deserted feeling
And our nightgowns are trailing and our feet are bare
Freedom, casualness, a carefree state
I don't know where we're going and I don't care
Indifference to the destination, focus on the moment
Just as long as you're here and the moon's up there
Contentment in being together under the moon
Moonshine, moonshine moon
Reiteration of moon's impact on the narrative
The cow jumped over the moonshine moon
Imaginative scenario, whimsicality
Moonshine, moonshine moon
Continued focus on the moon in the context of love
I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon
Expressing love specifically in the moonlight
Now all the little boys and girls around the town
Children dreaming while protagonist lives in the moment
Dreaming through the darkness till the moon goes down
Symbolic contrast between innocence and carefree abandon
But me and my baby gonna be up all night
Determination to stay awake, to enjoy the night
Dancing under the moonlight
Embracing the joy of dancing under the moon
Moonshine, moonshine moon
Reaffirmation of love under the moon's glow
I'll love you tonight under the moonshine moon
Emotional connection heightened by the moon
Moonshine, moonshine moon
Recurrence of whimsy and surreal imagery
The cow jumped over the moonshine moon
Continued playful depiction of the moon's influence
Moonshine, moonshine, moonshine, moonshine moon
Repetition emphasizing the enduring impact of the moon
