This is a cover of a lovely Blaze Foley song entitled, "Moonlight Song." I hope I did it justice. Moonlight Song is a track from Foley's stellar posthumously-released album, "The Dawg Years," which you can purchase here: fatpossum.com/products/the-dawg-years. There are precious few recordings of this obscure, immensely-talented artist available, and this album contains some of his very best work. Highly recommended!

Moonlight shinin’ through the trees 
Moonlight shinin’ down on me 
Lights the way for lovers in the dark 
Moonbeams dance on rain-drenched trees 
Sparkle for our eyes to see 
Moonlight shine on down and shine on me. 

Moonlight bathes the world around 
Paradise that we have found 
Here among the trees and things we love 
Shines on friends, all far away 
Takes us to another day 
Moonlight shine on down and shine on me. 

Layin’ with the one I love 
Lookin’ at the moon above 
Bein’ where we really wanna be 
The autumn winds for now are still 
The moon shines on, it always will 
Moonlight shine on down and shine on me 
Moonlight shine on down and shine on me.

We all have things we don't like about ourselves

Lyrics~

Stress and time
We all wish we were like the magazines 

Conscious to a tee
Each imperfection 
for the world to see

In the way that i move
Or the way that i speak

I'm not comfortable in my body
She said
I'm addicted to pain and the way that it makes me
Feel again!
I'm not comfortable in my body
he said
I'm addicted to pain and the way that it makes me
Feel again!

How did we get here

The voice whispering in our head that we aren't good enough.

~Lyrics~

Body of water
Swallow me whole
So i don't have to
Feel so alone
Done with the land 
Out to the sea
Bathe me in salt
Let me be free

There is no glass
There is no heat
I'll sink beneath
They'll want to seize us
They'll want to be us
They'll try to reason
Between the moon and the waves
The moon and the waves

Wash me away
I won't remain
Inside the current

I'll drift astray
I can't sustain
With only me

Absence of light
In murky water
The pot has been stirred
The kettle is leaking
Where is the meaning
Where is the reasoning
Where do we go
I'll sink below

There is no past there is no future
Nothing will last
They'll want to leave us 
Want to complete us 
Discard us away 
With the crash of the waves
The crash of the waves

Wash me away
I won't remain
Inside the current

I'll drift astray
I can't sustain
Life on the surface

Whispers

~Lyrics~

Foolish
I can't help the way i am
So madly in love
I can't help the way i am

I hate the way it hurts
To be told that i'm not enough
I wanna make it work
I wanna be a pillar

So tell me
Tell me you need me
So tell me
I want to understand

Foolish
I can't help the way i am
So madly in love
I can't help the way i am
Put this misery behind you

I just want to be beside you
Put this misery behind you
Lover is it picturesque
Far from perfect

Foolish

From the LP "Cold, Cold World" by Blaze Foley (a Secret Seven / Lost Art Records co-release)

“He (Blaze) is one of the most spiritual cats I’ve ever met; an ace finger picker; a writer who never shirks the truth." -Townes Van Zandt

Cold, Cold World captures Blaze Foley and his working band - the Beaver Valley Boys - from their first Texas studio recordings dating from 1979 and 1980. Blaze and the band - anchored by the renowned Gurf Morlix - are at the top of their form.

Previously only available on CD (through Lost Art), now on vinyl. This LP contains 13 songs and comes with a code to download the album plus four additional songs that were included on the CD release.
