The Moon Over Tucson - Carrie Newcomer

We just can’t help it so we do it again

We just gun the gas and let the wheels spin

It’s true and I’ve heard it said

We’re not so very far from the back of our heads

And the moon shines high over Tucson

Over waters that were long ago dried

Cause the moon don’t care if the water’s not there

It’s high tide

Isn’t it physical, and we can’t pretend

That we know where this starts and where this thing ends

It’s a mystery and we don’t know why

So we just breathe in deep and close our eyes

And the moon shines high over Tucson

Over waters that were long ago dried

Cause the moon don’t care if the water’s not there

It still tries

It calls to the water and it calls to the land

It calls to the hearts of women and men

It calls to the water and it calls to the land

It calls to the hearts of women and men

Isn’t it a pity, isn’t it a shame

That so much of what we are we won’t call by name

And it’s crazy in little ways

In the light of each and every full phase

And the moon shines high over Tucson

Over waters that were long ago dried

Cause the moon don’t care if the water’s not there

It’s high tide

And the moon shines high
