Moon June in Deep Summer's Gloom
I:
the sound of fireworks in the distance
…
old school record starts to play, ballroom music
…
V1:
A man for all seasons, that’s what I am
Walking with the stagecoach’s reins in my hand
Hoping to find a place to lay my feet
Oh, wandering free…
But your face is an old-time disgrace
With pearls for teeth and hands on your waist
Let’s sit over in the meadow where the stream runs blue
Lift your hearts where one meets two
Put your toes in the water, so fresh and clean
Listen to me, honeypot,
Just listen…
Instrumental continues
V2:
A woman for all wishes, that’s what I am
Running with bare feet across the hot desert sand
There’s something gentle in your smile, gentle in your hips
The way you move and the way your hat dips
Oh, take away that suitcase,
Leave it right there on the shelf
Come on, let’s sit on the park bench and watch the bluejays fly
Just listen to their song, honeypot,
Just listen…
Instrumental continue, accompanied by the sound of birds
C:
Oh, you’re my moon June in deep summer’s gloom
Hot as a honeysuckle, sweet as a peach
Moon June in deep summer’s gloom
Burning like my cheeks.
A moment, love, let’s stop and stare
See the moon kiss your lips,
Stars dancing in your hair.
B:
Moments pass by without a care
Hey, oh, hey
We can go anywhere
The world’s so young, time’s moving fast
Please, Lord, let these good times last.
C:
Oh, you’re my moon June in deep summer’s gloom
Hot as a honeysuckle, sweet as a peach
Moon June in deep summer’s gloom
Burning like my cheeks.
A moment, love, let’s stop and stare
See the moon kiss your lips,
Stars dancing in your hair.
PC:
…
Hey, honeypot, did you grab a map?
A compass, keys, hey, tell me where-
Where do you want to sleep?
Oh, anywhere!
With you, it’s good,
I’m chugging along just fine.
So move along, train, take us home
Take us into the sunset where all lovers roam...
Here we go!
Int:
train whistles, starts to move on the tracks
C (repeated quietly and slowly):
Oh, you’re my moon June in deep summer’s gloom
Hot as a honeysuckle, sweet as a peach
Moon June in deep summer’s gloom
Burning like my cheeks.
A moment, love, let’s stop and stare
See the moon kiss your lips,
Stars dancing in your hair.
O:
Honeymoon,
Honeymoon,
Mmm...mmm...mmm… (a soft humming)
