Rising Moon - Paul Kelly

We left the others in the fading light

Walked up that old road on a warm summer night

You said let’s go higher, there’s a good chance that soon

We’ll get to see the rising moon

When we reached the quarry, we could feel the breeze

We stood there a moment, searching the trees

Then suddenly we saw it, that big red glow

I took your hand and you didn’t let go

And my poor heart jumped out of my chest

My poor heart jumped right out of my chest

And my poor heart jumped out of my chest

My poor heart jumped right out of my chest

Well, the moon changes colour as it rose in the sky

And we changed each other under heaven’s bright eye

I might live to a hundred, I might die soon

But I’ll never forget that rising moon

'Cause my poor heart jumped out of my chest

My poor heart jumped right out of my chest

My poor heart jumped out of my chest

My poor heart jumped right out of my chest

Now you’ve gone

And left me staring at the horizon

My heart beats strong

Sometimes I just wish it would stop

But it keeps pumping on

My poor heart jumped out of my chest

My poor heart jumped right out of my chest

My poor heart jumped out of my chest

My poor heart jumped right out of my chest (Rising moon)

My poor heart jumped out of my chest (Rising moon)

My poor heart jumped right out of my chest
