Bitter Moon lyrics by Ivan Petersen

Artist: Ivan Petersen
Title: Bitter Moon
======================================

Just one look, he caught fire
the moment her picture settled in
To have and hold was his desire
so the story can begin
Under the moon, bitter moon
Nothing's quite what it seems
in the light of the bitter moon

When he asked her the size of ring
she said you move too far too fast
Her shaking hand didn't mean a thing
when he swore that his love would last
Under the moon, bitter moon
Nothing's quite what it seems
in the light of the bitter moon

She tried to talk
about this boy she met
and that her daddy thought
she wasn't ready yet
She hugged him saying
he would soon forget
but he said no no no no no no

Johnny pulls of water drops
the board walk still the line
Love or lust, just desire
Any thing to catch a shine
Under the moon, bitter moon
Nothing's quite what it seems
in the light of the bitter moon

Yeah, yeah

Burning wheels into a cloud of dust
down the moonlit road to hell
Crying oceans for the love he did lost
another fool caught in spell
Under the moon, bitter moon
Nothing's quite what it seems
in the light of the bitter moon

Under the moon, bitter moon
Nothing's quite what it seems
in the light of the bitter moon

Nothing is quite what it seems
in the light of the bitter moon
