Porch Song


I opened up my eyes to see
a land of sunny rocks and funny trees
i guess (yes,) i'm on the moon again
a heavy earth exchange a lighter breeze
got no coat and got no money
a pair of tennis shoes to last through may
a crater for an outdoor pool
a few good cats to help me pass the day

havin' a good time, here today
watching the sun shine, matinee
never the wrong time, time we stay
living the moontime, time we play

from here i watch the world go by
working in the moon-time bar and grill
the word from earth - my time is up
but here upon the moon time stands still
got no telecommunications
cables haven't gotten out this way
the man in the moon is a musician
that's the way we pass the lunar day

havin' a good time, here today
watching the sun shine, matinee
never the wrong time, time we stay
living the moontime, time we play
living the moontime, time to live it up!
