You haven’t been gone too long now
Just for a breath of air
To breathe in island tradewinds in the rain
And from my window I can see
your drizzle dampened hair
as I await your wet return,
return to me

Under a big fat moon that hangs where the stars are
There’s nowhere in this world I’d rather be
Than under a big fat moon spun of silk and silver water
Up where the clouds are thin
And stars have broken free

The headlights on the distant road
illuminate a memory
of  highway songs and stories I once knew
Now it’s just music in my head
Those days are gone and every
road I travel winds its way to you

Under a big fat moon that hangs where the stars are
There’s nowhere in this world I’d rather be
Than under a big fat moon spun of silk and silver water
Up where the clouds are thin
And stars have broken free

(Bridge)  You bring bouquets of blooming jasmine
                drenched in your hands
                and lay them on my pillow
                You carry fistfuls of the moonlight
                Shining in your hands
                And then you splash it over us

From my open window we can breathe
rainy island air and hear the
music of the dark and rising sea

Under a big fat moon
It hangs where the stars are
Come close your sleepy eyes and lie with me
Under a big fat moon spun of silk and silver water
Up where the clouds are thin
And stars have broken free

Up where the clouds are thin
And stars have broken free
