Well, just before dark in the pink violet sky
I hear the night coming down the road
She left before sundown and now
I've got nowhere to go

Maybe it's over now, I don't know
What am I supposed to do?
Just finding my way through the dark
By the light of the moon

By the light of a drunken moon
By the light of a drunken moon
By the light of a drunken moon
I'll make my way, but I
Don't know where daylight will find me

Just before sunrise, the moon starts to fade
Where are you going, my friend?
We're just getting started, don't bring on
The sunlight again

Maybe it's over now, I don't know
What am I supposed to do?
Just finding my way through the dark
By the light of the moon
By the light of a drunken moon
By the light of a drunken moon
By the light of a drunken moon
I'll make my way, but I
I don't know where daylight will find me

And I walk through this empty town
Everything's dark, all the shops are closed now
I'd buy the moon a drink
But we both know it's time to move on

By the light of a drunken moon
By the light of a drunken moon
By the light of a drunken moon
I'll make my way, but I
Don't know where daylight will find me
By the light of a drunken moon
By the light of a drunken moon
By the light of a drunken moon
I'll make my way, but I
Don't know where daylight will find me
