Yellow moon won’t you walk with me?
Along the shady road ‘neath the live oak trees
There’s darkness where the wheels turn low
Coming down that hill to the valley below
Hey now mama won’t you rescue me?
I’m lost out here in the wild country
I’m a purple diamond at the break of day
Come night time I’m fading away
If I come back won’t you let me stay?
Oh yellow moon won’t you light the way?
Yellow moon won’t you light the way?
Along the dim lines of this blue highway
A double rose and a shot of love
Those two things that I’m dreaming of
A shot of love and a double rose
Depths of desire I will not know
Yellow moon won’t you walk with me?
Along the shady road ‘neath the live oak trees
I know I’ve been gone a long lost time
Searching the shadows of my worried mind
I went looking for that love of mine
Won’t you send me home along the straightest line
A shot of love and a double rose
Depths of desire I will not know
