WATER FROM THE MOON

WATER FROM THE MOON

Sometimes I sing a song - quite out of tune
sometimes I long for love coming - o very soon
sometimes I'm a lazy girl smiling all glad
sometimes I'm a crazy gal crying like mad
but always, always
searching for a pearl in a spoon
looking for a golden prune
and where will I find
water from the moon?

Sometimes I'm on a throne - just like a rose
sometimes I feel alone - that's how it goes
sometimes I'm a hazy girl dreamin around
sometimes I'm a crazy gal down on the ground
but always, always
searching for a heart in a shell
looking for a wishing well
and where will I find
water from the moon?

And then someday there was a voice
I don't know from where
'twas just there:

You can't get water from the moon
but maybe love in the afternoon -
you won't get water from the moon
but enjoy love in the afternoon ...

You can't get water ...

Sometimes wearing a crown - shouting some cheers
sometimes I'm just a clown - to hide the tears
sometimes I'm a lazy girl too tired for chess
sometimes I'm a crazy gal just in a mess
but always, always
searching for the secret doors
looking for a flying horse
where and how to find
water from the moon?
Water from the moon ...

But then some day there was a voice
I don't know from where
'twas just there:

You can't get water from ...

No water from the moon
but a pearl in a spoon ...
