The seasons they are turnin’ And my sad heart is yearnin’ To hear again the songbird’s sweet melodious tone Meet me in the moonlight alone The dusky light, the day is losing Orchids, poppies, black-eyed Susan The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone Meet me in the moonlight alone The air is thick and heavy All along the levee Where the geese into the countryside have flown Meet me in the moonlight alone Well, I'm preachin’ peace and harmony The blessings of tranquility Floating like a dream across the floor I’ll take you ’cross the river dear You’ve no need to linger here Draw the blinds, step outside the door The clouds are turnin’ crimson The leaves fall from the limbs an’ The branches cast their shadows over stone Meet me in the moonlight alone The boulevards of Cypress trees The masquerades of birds and bees The petals, pink and white, the wind has blown Meet me in the moonlight alone The trailing moss and mystic glow Purple blossoms soft as snow Step up and drop the coin right into the slot The fading light of sunset glowed It’s crowded on the narrow road Who cares whether you forgive me or not My pulse is runnin’ through my palm The sharp hills are rising from The yellow fields with twisted oaks that groan Meet me in the moonlight alone
