Music by John Scofield; Lyrics by Holly Holmes
Walkin’ in thru the back door, and I shut it tight
Turn off the lights in each room,
Something doesn’t look right
Sleep is the dreamer’s canvas, An enchanted flight
Beautiful dreamer, wake up, Not if I can help it
For the light of the devil moon is in your eye
And I’m wonderin’ what’s that look for that you give?
The silence of night can hide us from prying eyes
Closer to dusk I’ll find you, dancing with the shadows
You’re the king of subtlety, the king of dry
But there’s more behind it, I’ll have to dig a little deeper
For the light of the devil moon is in your eye
And I’m wonderin’ what’s that look for that you give?
Why don’t you step inside, dear, and stay awhile
Well, the moon is rising, and my heart is racing
I think I can see you, in a different light
I can almost feel you, when you look right through me
For the light of the devil moon is in your eye
And I’m wonderin’ what’s that look for that you give?
