I’m breaking through I’m bending spoons I’m keeping flowers in full bloom I’m looking for answers from the great beyond I want the hummingbirds, the dancing bears Sweetest dreams of you I Look into the stars I Look into the moon I’m pushing an elephant up the stairs I’m tossing up punch lines that were never there Over my shoulder a piano falls Crashing to the ground ---

So I’ll trust my heart, what else can I do I can’t live in dreams if my dreams are to come true There’s a better life that’s waiting, past the mountains I must climb I will take a chance on love to get my once upon a time And it was so much more, so much more than a dream ---

Once upon a time A girl with moonlight in her eyes Put her hand in mine And said she loved me so But that was once upon a time Very long ago Once upon a hill We sat beneath a willow tree Counting all the stars and waiting for the dawn But that was once upon a time Now the tree is gone ---

Call her moonchild Dancing in the shallows of a river Lonely moonchild Dreaming in the shadows of the willow. Talking to the trees of the Cobweb strange Sleeping on the steps of a fountain Waving silver wands to the Night-birds song Waiting for the sun on the mountain. She’s a moonchild Gathering the flowers in a garden. Lovely moonchild Drifting on the echoes of the hours. Sailing on the wind In a milk white gown Dropping circle stones on a sun dial Playing hide and seek With the ghosts of dawn Waiting for a smile from a sun child. ---

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I’m trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that play soft and low And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush ---

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight Zero hour, nine a.m. And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife It’s lonely out in space On such a timeless flight And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time ‘til touch down brings me round again to find I’m not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I’m a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone ---

What do you think you’ll do then I bet that’ll shoot down the plane It’ll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you’ll get a replacement There’s plenty like me to be found Mongrels who ain’t got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground So goodbye yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can’t plant me in your penthouse I’m going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny back toad Oh I’ve finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road ---
