Luna’s Gone
[Verse 1]
Was it a light only she could see?
A gypsy's spell, a mystery
Something to cause our girl to roam
Was it a song only she could hear?
Whispering charms in her ears
Causing her to leave our happy home
Guess, the light of the moon
Is all we've got to go on
Guess, we're never going to know
And she's not telling no one

[Chorus]
Luna's gone, she's gone away
All day long I call her name, Luna's gone

[Verse 2]
There wasn't a sign of wanderlust
A quarrel, a breach of faith or trust
Nothing to give us one thin clue
Her eyes like the moon in a heart-shaped face
Astonishing speed, amazing grace
Little wild child, we loved so true
Guess, the wind in the trees
Is all she left behind her
Guess, it's part of the plan
To know we'll never find her
[Chorus]
Luna's gone, she's gone away
All day long I call her name, Luna's gone

[Verse 3]
The end has come, verse and chapter
I'll miss that girl forever after
She left us now, the way she came
No amount of love could tame her
Free as the wind that blows
Guess, she couldn't resist
The lure of the open spaces
You won't find her
In Miami Beach or Vegas

[Chorus]
Luna's gone, she's gone away
All day long I call her name, Luna's gone
Luna's gone, she's gone away
All day long I call her name, Luna's gone
Luna's gone, she's gone away
All day long I call her name, Luna's gone
