Lyrics
[Verse 1] Standing on the moon I got no cobweb on my shoe Standing on the moon I'm feeling so alone and blue I see the Gulf of Mexico As tiny as a tear The coast of California Must be somewhere over here, over here [Chorus] Standing on the moon I see the battle rage below Standing on the moon I see the soldiers come and go There's a metal flag beside me Someone planted long ago Old Glory standing stiffly Crimson, white and indigo Old Glory standing stiffly Crimson, white and indigo Indigo [Verse 2] I see all of Southeast Asia I can see El Salvador I hear the cries of children And the other songs of war It's like a mighty melody That rings down from the sky Standing here upon the moon I watch it all roll by, all roll by All roll by, all roll by [Chorus] Standing on the moon I see a shadow on the sun Standing on the moon The stars go fading one by one I hear a cry of victory And another of defeat A scrap of age-old lullaby Down some forgotten street Standing on the moon Where talk is cheap and vision true Standing on the moon But I would rather be with you Somewhere in San Francisco On a back porch in July Just looking up at heaven At this crescent in the sky, in the sky Standing on the moon With nothing left to do A lovely view of heaven But I'd rather be with you A lovely view of heaven But I'd rather be with you, be with you [Outro] Be with you, I'd rather be with you Be with you, I'd rather be with you I'd rather be with you, be with you Be with you, be with you
