the dreaming moon

The Magnetic Fields

with an ivory pipe
and a cummerbund
in the dead of night on the Autobahn
with the long ago on the radio
and the dreaming moon...

we were young and in love
in a burning town
but the fire went out
I'm alone again now
and I finally know
how cool to be cold
with the dreaming moon...

I'll begin again
with another new name
and a whole new life
full of fortune and fame
but in the 100th year
I'll be right back here
with the dreaming moon...
