'MOONLIGHT'

© M.Akamawa

I'm climbin'up
a familiar hillside
try not to look
down upon you
The road is steep
it's broad but it narrows
I'm gettin' higher
on earth below 

Oh is the road that carries me
just the passion of bein' aliiiii/iiiive

Try not to feel 
oww I do feel it
Try not to look
at damages done

If I forget
and if I start runnin'
like in a dream
I'll be slowin'down

Is the past that carries me
a wicked passion of bein' aliiiii/iiiive

It's gettin'dark
my heartbeat changes
there's confidence
in my stride
bend after bend
what will I find
The road is rocky
but it is kind

Is the future carrying me
maybe the passion of bein' aliiii/iiiive

I know I never
will reach the top
and I'll roll backwards
if I would stop

So I close my eyes
and see her comin'
that lifetime friend
and lover too

Oh yeah the moon that shines on me
is the passion of bein' aliiiii/iiiive

Yes the moon that shines on me
shines on everything I see
I've fallen in love I'm finally free
yet she shows me how to be
simply aliiiii/iiiiive

Oh yes the moon that shines on me
shines on everything I see
I've fallen in love I'm finally free
yet she shows me how to be
simply aliiiii/iiiiive

'Moonlight' is the first song I (ever) wrote, as a present to myself for my 50th birthday, in July 2013. and haven't stopped writing songs since ... keeps me healthy and off the street!

A year later I invited the great German leadguitarist Jogi Vetter to improvise a solo for 'Moonlight', Jogi listened, a few seconds later he sort of shook his sleeve and wham-bam 'Moonlight' had her solo.
