lyrics

NEW MOON ON FRIDAY (Mary Greene)

There was a time when the dreams that were mine were yours’ as well my dear
Till they drifted slowly to the ground and faded like the falling year
I saw the light of love in your eyes and that love once set us free
Now it’s the darkness of duty that keeps you here with me

There’s a new moon on Friday that’ll give you the strength to go
That same new moon will light my way to the truth that I must know
Love cannot be a chain of gold. Love must be a key
And I open up my arms now so you can fly away from me

I am no angel. I am no saint.
I’m a fallen idol in the chapel of love crumbling plaster and peeling paint
It will be a lie if you see me smile as I lead you to the door
And there’ll be times when I will curse you and wonder what our love was for

But There’s a new moon on Friday that’ll give you the strength to go
That same new moon will light my way to the truth that I must know
Love cannot be a chain of gold. Love must be a key
And I open up my arms now so you can fly away from me

There were never any angels in this house
Just the light of love and now the light’s gone out
But Love cannot be a chain of gold. Love must be a key
And I open up my arms now so you can fly away from me
I open up my arms now so you can fly away from me
