Paul Kelly - Rising Moon Lyrics

We left the others
In the fading light
Walked up that old road
On a warm summer night
You said let's go higher
There's a good chance that soon
We'll get to see the rising moon

When we reached the quarry
We could feel the breeze
We stood there a moment
Searching the trees
Then suddenly we saw it
That big red glow
I took your hand
And you didn't let go

And my poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
And my poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest

Well that moon changes its colour
As it rose in the sky
We changed each other
Under heaven's bright eye
I might live to a hundred
I might die soon
But I never forget that rising moon

'Cause my poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest

Now you've gone
Left me staring at the horizon
My heart beats strong
Sometimes I just wish it would stop
But it keeps pumping on

My poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
My poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
My poor heart jumped out of my chest
My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
