I'm at the mercy of the moon
She can take me where she will
Run me ragged stand me still
Turn me cold or make me swoon
I'm at the mercy of the moon

And tonight I'll see the light pouring down all over you
As the dew begins to fall and your lips begin to call
I'm in too deep now to refuse
You say you love me and I know
That tonight you really do
But tomorrow comes too soon and we'll sing another tune
And you'll find somebody new
I'm at the mercy of the moon

She can take me where she will
Run me ragged stand me still
Turn me cold or make me swoon
I'm at the mercy of the moon

And if I could freeze this face
That shows your body close to mine
I would give up this fight for fame
And forget that your last name is his instead of mine
I'm at the mercy of the moon
We're at the mercy of the moon
I'm at the mercy of the moon

She can take me where she will
Run me ragged
Stand me still
Turn me cold or make me swoon
At the mercy of the moon
