with the sun setting on the lemon trees
i’d climb the hills behind her home
beneath Strathbogie views at age 22
i’d wait there as we’d planned for well I knew
that soon she’d come
as would the stars from midst the blue
and in my arms she’d whisper true
while looking down that big old hollow moon
but then came the war and the burning of the trees
and the tearing of the scars that only grew
through the clouding of the sky
i watched her as she fell for someone new
the brilliance of her skin, a picture took it all
and I held it to my heart as darkness grew
through the gun fire and the napalm fumes
i held her screaming to that big old hollow moon
hollow moon
under that great big hollow moon
our love ran out too soon
hollow moon my love
we’re watching water through the cliffs
rush over
time moved away the hours into days
here I am a man of 54, in civilian life
with kids and loving wife
and a picture wrapped up in a bottom drawer
but sometimes I stand by the windows here at night
and all the things that once I thought I knew
again I feel them to be true
as I look up to that big old hollow moon
hollow moon my love say you’ll meet me up above
and stroll laughing in my arms forever
hollow moon my love say you’ll meet me up above
and fall laughing in my arms forever
