Shame On The Moon

As I was driving to work last night, getting all googly-eyed at the mist-haloed full moon and stars, (and on the verge of crying---what is it with me and crying lately??! It only seems to be between the hours of 2130 and 0200. Must be some kind of circadian thing. Enough already!), this song popped into my head. Even though I've been absolutely eating up every heart-wrenching violin/classic piece I can find on iTunes radio/WKAR lately. Anything by Joshua Bell or Rene' Gruss has a particularly exquisite good kind of pain.

How about a little Bob Seger...

Words and music by Rodney Crowell

Until you've been beside a man
You don't know what he wants
You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if he don't
When nothin' comes easy
Old nightmares are real
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know how he feels

Once inside a woman's heart
A man must keep his head
Heaven opens up the door
Where angels fear to tread
Some men go crazy
Some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go

Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon

Everywhere it's all around
Comfort in a crowd
Strangers faces all around
Laughin' right out loud
Hey watch where your goin'
Step light on old toes
Cause until you've been beside a man
You don't know who he knows

Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
