It's late at night and I'm lying here And the only sound I hear Is the sound of a song
Blowing in on the wings of the wind Down the road and round the bend And through the window to my room I'm miles from town and I lie here all alone I know exactally where that music's coming from
On the darkside of the moon Where there's a neon sign Outside an old saloon Across a crowded, smoke filled room You can hear a band, bang out a country tune Where Hank and Patsy still do 7 shows a week And I can hear them sing to me From the dark side of the moon
Years ago I'd spend my time Chasin' fireflies all night Out beyond that old barn When in the wind, after daddy'd gone in And I was all alone again Somewhere out on that farm I'd hear a fiddle cryin'through the willow trees I knew that up there, Hank was callin' me
I know it's crazy but I swear it's true If you'd only listen close, you'd hear it, too
