Novato Moon

NOVATO MOON


Words and Music by: Johnny Townsend and Dan Toler


Fell asleep last night under the Novato moon
Woke up this mornin’ to a cold empty room
I poured my coffee and I walked outside
Raised my hands and shook my fist at the sky


Where is that woman that’s so much a part of me
Why did God give us Love and not the eyes to see
Last night I’d surely have been taken for a fool
Standin’ there confessin’ to the man in the Novato moon


In the small hours I was waitin’ by the phone
Smokin’ cigarettes and writin’ down this song
Searchin’ up and down the corners of my heart
Knowing you're somewhere out there among the stars


My mind keeps running back to how it used to be
My God I need that woman right here with me
Last night I'dsureley have been taken for a fool
Standin' there confessin' to the man in the Novato Moon.


The movieola rolls on like an endless stream
You're face will haunt me if I wake or if I dream
But even as the chill of night has passed away
The truth seems even colder in the light of day


Where is that woman that's so much a part of me
I'm dyin' slowiy and there's only one remedy
For stars to guide the three of us together soon
Darlin' you and me and the man in the Novato Moon
