John Miles Pale Spanish Moon
Goodbye is never easy
But it was time to go
I threw some things together
And moved out on the road
Headed west and kept on going
Chasing the rain
Had a feeling deep inside of me
Things would never be the same
And that pale Spanish moon
Was shining down on me
All through the night
Memories of home fading away
In the morning light
Riding high and lonesome
Looking for some breathing room
And over my shoulder
That pale Spanish moon
Way up in Santa Fe
They were dancing to a slow one
The smoke hung in the room
When I saw her standing there
Just one glance, then we touched
And moved into the song
Fire was there between us
Kept on burning all night long
And that pale Spanish moon
Was hanging in the sky
Caressing her hair
She could never hide
The laughter in her eyes
The passion in the air
I thought it was forever
But forever came too soon
Goodbyes are never easy
Underneath a Spanish moon
And on down through the years
In the darkness of my room
I will remember her
And that pale Spanish moon
