blake hodgetts – night shift lyrics
there comes a day
i’m visiting a backwoods town beside a lake
hear tell of something rare
the locals say
that there’s a lady all in blue who has been known to take
the air
but she appears out of nowhere
then fades away
there’s more to hear
it seems there are conditions on her manifest
and rules that have divined
when she’ll appear
and many men who have been drawn here as if on a quest
to find her
but they learn they cannot bind her
and she’s gone
before the bead of dawn
(chorus:)
once in a blue moon
that’s when she’s seen abroad
and who’d have thought
a chance would bring me there when it was beaming bright?
once in a blue moon
my heart’s been stolen from me
it’s become my
dearest wish to turn the moon blue every night
that eve i stand
and watch the sky with wonder at the moon aglow
in hues of azure fair
upon the land
a mist of melting violets glistens like fresh-fallen snow
i stare
and just a moment later there
appears her hand
she’s dressed in blue
and turns her eyes upon me like a thing possessed
the air is still, and then
she says, “for you
i’d tarry here, but be it known, fair man, i cannot rest
for when
the moon has lost its hue again
and turned to grey
then no more can i stay”
(chorus:)
once in a blue moon
she walks beside the waters
and it’s not as
strange as you might think to fall at love’s first sight
once in a blue moon
but now look what i’m brought to
i have got to
find a way to turn the moon blue every night
i guess i ought to mention here
i am a starship’s engineer
and th-rny problems never leave me dazed
with just a bit of concentration
and inventive adaptation
i can solve this lunar puzzle, facing it unfazed
so by the lake
an einstein-rosen bridge i learn to generate
within a spheric field
and then i make
an artificial zone of gravity to compensate
and shield
and time-dilation is the yield
for twice as slow
the hours within will go
(chorus:)
once in a blue moon
though it was unexpected
i’ve bisected
every wavelength there within that hastened light
once in a blue moon
she comes to me thereafter
and our laughter
echoes ‘neath the moon blue-shifted every night
