[Verse 1]
Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I'm all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night through
[Chorus]
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
[Verse 2]
Lying in a mother's arms
The primal root of a woman's charms
I'm a stranger to the sun
My eyes are too weak
How cold is a heart
When it's warmth that he seeks?
You watch every night, you don't care what I do
[Chorus]
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
[Verse 3]
My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for her explains everything I've done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And they really don't care if I do
[Chorus]
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
Sister Moon
Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I'm all by myself in your silver light
I would gaze at your face the whole night through
[Chorus]
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
[Verse 2]
Lying in a mother's arms
The primal root of a woman's charms
I'm a stranger to the sun
My eyes are too weak
How cold is a heart
When it's warmth that he seeks?
You watch every night, you don't care what I do
[Chorus]
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
[Verse 3]
My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun
My hunger for her explains everything I've done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And they really don't care if I do
[Chorus]
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
I'd go out of my mind, but for you
