The Moon Struck One lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics The Moon Struck One lyrics Songwriters: Robertson, Robbie; Julie and little John Tyler lived in the house next door We would be the great triangle and to this we swore Julie was my sweetheart, little John was my cohort And all the wild horses in the world couldn t keep us apart Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun And promised to return before the moon struck one Julie came runnin through the pasture, she was screamin at the sky She fell down to her knees and the tears did fly Little John was stung by a snake over by the lake And it looked like he s really, really hurt, he was lyin in the dirt Oh, we went it as fast as we could run But we lost little John as the moon struck one I was vacant, Julie was a bird with a broken wing We were always afraid, what tomorrow might bring We ll drive down to Durango, up and leave this place And maybe forget the triangle with a change of pace The car broke down when we had just begun And we walked back to the house while the moon struck one song lyrics
