Woody walked out of the cotton field In his head he had words that his lips concealed An old airstrip where the weeds are growin' A burned out bomber with the cockpit glowin' With the key from a room to the Skyview Motel He scratched words in the wing as a falling star fell The moon sees you, the moon sees me The moon sees who I want to see I'll see you soon Down in the light of the melon moon Down in the light of the melon moon On the other side of town 'n another side of life Stella holds her breath and stares at the knife She looks to the sky at the flash of a star And just sees a man and a plane and a war From a drawer by the bed she opens a book To a sketch on a napkin that's torn half in two The moon sees you, the moon sees me The moon sees who I want to see I'll see you soon Down in the light of the melon moon Down in the light of the melon moon She doesn't feel lucky, she doesn't feel lost She just feels like leavin', what ever the cost Past the Skyview Motel with a man on her mind Half her life in the headlights the other half behind She passed a military truck by a cemetery wall I guess good luck is better than no luck at all The moon sees you, the moon sees me The moon sees who I want to see I'll see you soon Down in the light of the melon moon Down in the light of the melon moon
