Lasso The Moon Lyrics


She carries the water from the well in the morning
while the sand burns her feet the sun only stares
and the loneliness lingers with slow grasping fingers
as the afternoon withers the flowers in her hair
Then night fills the sky as she sits on the hillside
and memories drift by like clouds past the stars
recalling romances and all the bright chances
but none of them lasted. they passed through her heart
And she says -
where is a man who can build a good fire
with a passion as wide as the sky at high noon
a man whose hand is strong as his longing
where is the man who can lasso the moon
She falls asleep and her dreams are her blanket
and she shares with the moon the secret she knows

as the dawn leaves its tears to wash the dry valley
the tears of a woman can wash a man's soul
And she says -
where is a man who can build a good fire
with a passion as wide as the sky at high noon
a man whose hand is strong as his longing
where is the man who can lasso the moon
And she says -
where is a man who can build a good fire
with a passion as wide as the sky at high noon
a man whose hand is strong as his longing
where is the man who can lasso the moon
and I say -
I am a man who can build a good fire
and my passion's as wide as the sky at high noon
come take my hand, it's as strong as your longing
just say the word and I'll lasso the moon

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Internationally popular British funk-rock quartet fronted by Mark King and Mike Lindup, best known for their hits Lessons In Love, Something About You, The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up), Love Games and Hot Water. They were formed on the Isle of Wight.

Though their membership has fluctuated throughout the years, the original and perhaps best-known lineup consisted of Mark King aka "Thunderthumbs" (vocals & bass), Mike Lindup (vocals & keyboards) and brothers Boon Gould (guitar) and Phil Gould (drums). After the success of the Running in the Family album, the Gould brothers left the band, citing musical differences and nervous exhaustion. King and Lindup continued, picking up replacement artists in Gary Husband on drums and former Go West and Kate Bush guitarist Alan Murphy. Murphy sadly passed away after suffering from an AIDS related illness in October 1989. The band released their then swansong album, Forever Now, in 1994.

At the end of the 80s, Mark King was recognized as one of the best bass players in the world having pioneered the 'slap and pull' technique, treating the bass as a percussion instrument. His style and virtuosity still are hugely influential, considering he also sang while he played very difficult basslines.

Following the formal breakup of the band in the mid-90s King later performed with a new lineup under the Level 42 moniker, before he and Lindup reunited to record Retroglide in 2006.

As of 2012, King and Lindup are still touring with personnel of Pete Ray Biggin, Sean Freeman and Nathan King completing the current lineup.
