letra de don't turn your back on the moon - youth group

[verse 1]
grant mclennan wrote songs about beaches
the moon and kisses
he never made it sound cheesy
trite, or easy
i think he probably burned incense
like a hippie, but intense
always seemed to be something going on
even though he was the quieter one
and i walk down to the water
the full moon hangs like a thought i had
but couldn’t forget
i get my shoes wet
i walk home past a series
of flat-screen tvs
fl!ckering in darkenеd rooms
they have their backs to thе moon

[refrain]
don’t turn your back on the moon
don’t turn your back on the moon
don’t turn your back on the moon

[chorus]
i recall the writing on the wall
i recall the writing on the wall
[verse 2]
grant died at forty-eight
i’ll be that age next may
i’ve got friends who died in their forties
leaving behind friends, kids, family
you wonder if we’re paying for
life we lived back in the old days
makes my thoughts shift
long life is a gift
long life is a gift
now i get a blood test every year
it leads to the opposite of fear
as midlife crises go
it’s cheaper than a racing bike and cycling clothes
my dad died at fifty-seven
closer to that age now
tommy really knocked me around
but now i can see in the hour
it’s like he was giving me a superpower
when i go on a solo cross-country drive
i can feel him there by my side
keeps me company like music
not that he ever let me choose it
aw, yeah

[chorus]
i recall the writing on the wall
i can’t see you rushing back to me
rushing, rushing now
rushing back to me
[verse 3]
on the day of grant mclennan’s funeral
in the clear, bright light, we dropped cameron off at the cathedral
so that day, we happened to have a show in brisbane
a coincidence with some mystical reason
that night at the show
turned into a wake for someone i felt, but didn’t know
we played “the clock”
it was messy, but it rocked
and i can still recall
john and glenn’s faces on the dance floor
like a house with all the windows left open
they looked free, but they looked broken
on that soft brisbane night
aw, we used to love going there when the band was starting out
stretch our wings and fly
sat on a van ceiling tile

[chorus]
i recall the writing on the wall
i can’t see you rushing back to me
rushing, rushing now
rushing back to me

[verse 4]
i walked down to the beach
the full moon hangs like a ripe peach
i think writing is tough
but some writers seem to have such a light touch
that’s how they sound profound
that’s how they sound profound
they don’t know what they do
[refrain]
don’t turn your back on the moon
don’t turn away from the moon
don’t turn your back on the moon
don’t turn away from the moon
