Hornsby, Bruce - Sunlight Moon Lyrics






I would try most anything
While I stand here lingering
Have a couple of songs to sing
To take your mind away
Promises of treats I bring
I'd give you most everything
Doesn't change anything
You're just going away

Going away going, going, gone away again
Here today, gone tomorrow
Little ones can't hide their sorrow
Gong, going, gone away

See you holding back a tear
The moment when I disappear
You look and look until it's clear
He's gone for a long time
You say don't make a special trip here
Please don't because I fear
Some of my new friends
Might just spy a tear

Going away going, going, gone away again
Here today, gone tomorrow
Little ones can't hide their sorrow
Gong, going, gone away

That's enough places, Dad
Can't you see from our faces, Dad?

Going away going, going, gone away again
Here today, gone tomorrow
Little ones can't hide their sorrow
Gong, going, gone away

If you see a sunlight moon
Know that I can see it too
Know that I am with you
Promise I'll be home soon

I'm kind of glad that you miss me
Sort of hope you keep insisting

Hornsby, Bruce Sunlight Moon Comments
  1. s.... ....

    Wonderful, heartfelt! Beautiful piano lick that echoes throughout, that Paisley Park/Novi Novog violin line adding texture, the tempo shifts and pauses... It's as beautiful as Pat Metheny's "Letters from Home" (implicitly about the same subject), with lyrics.

    It's a crime that I never heard of Spirit Trail. Since Absolute Zero I've been reaching back into 20 years of Bruce Hornsby records since his brief pop stardom, and have yet to find a dud.

  2. r.... p....

    lovely melody,,,,,,,,,,,,,fascinating piano solo from 2 minutes onward!!!!!! it sounds better when REALLY PLAYED LOUD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. J.... ....

    Can't get enough of the solo starting at 2:08. Clean, fluid and slick.

    I would try most anything
    While I stand here lingering
    Have a couple of songs to sing
    To take your mind away

    Promises of treats I bring
    I'd give you most anything
    Doesn't change anything
    You're going away

    Just goin', goin', gone away again
    Here today, gone tomorrow
    Little ones can't hide their sorrow
    Goin', goin', gone away again

    See you holding back a tear
    The moment when I disappear
    You look and look until it's clear
    He's gone through a long time

    You say don't make a special trip here
    Please don't because I fear
    One of my new friends
    Might just spy a tear
    Goin', goin' away

    I'm just goin', goin', gone away away again
    Here today, gone tomorrow
    Little ones can't hide their sorrow
    That's enough places, Dad
    Can't you see from our faces, Dad?
    Just goin', goin', gone away again

    Gone away
    I just goin', goin', gone away again

    If you see a sunlight moon
    Know that I can see it too
    Know that I am with you
    Promise I'll be home soon

    I'm kind of glad that you miss me
    Sort of hope you keep insisting
