Ring around the moon

We don't know when we came you know it's been so long,
Everything is the same so let's do one more song.
Ring around the moon long, long time 'til day,
Play me one more tune please don't go away.

You be the mandolin I'll be the steel guitar,
You dance out and in I'll cry up so far.
Long, long time 'til day,
Play me one more tune please don't go away.

Everybody's been alone, been to the parade,
Tryin' to find the bones of this masquerade.
And there's a ring around the moon long, long time 'til day,
Play me one more tune please don't go away.

Love she always passes lightly and away,
Like a lioness gets restless when she comes to stay.
And there's a ring around the moon long, long time 'til day,
Play me one more tune please don't go away.

Pickin' on the strings, tapping of your feet,
Well, these are age-old things, but who can say how sweet.
When there's a ring around the moon long, long time 'til day,
Play me one more tune please don't go away.
