Lyrics
THE MOON AND A FEW HIGH CLOUDS

Dreaming of you at sunset.
Watching a few high clouds.
A seagull or two,
The moon rises blue.
I whisper your name out loud.

Thanking you for the postcard.
Beautiful view of Rome.
You write: "Wish you were here,
My charioteer.
Hello to the folks back home."

I know they sent you over there to lose me.
I know you said the time would hasten by.
I know these witty postcards should amuse me.
But how I wish that homeward bird would fly.

You're due to land next Sunday.
Holding my breath 'til then.
Toward that rendezvous
The moon and a few
High clouds and a kiss I send . . . to you.
