The calico moon was rising that night Shining like gold on the water Me and my brother we hijacked a row boat Set out like Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer Oars dippin' diamonds As we rowed across the lake An owl sang to who knows who Lost in the wonder Under the calico moon The calico moon lay soft on your skin It was a night that I'll always remember Our hearts filled with fire Holding each other Love flowed as wild as the river We talked of how we were meant to be And how sometimes dreams do come true We were young lovers Under the calico moon Now that old moon has rolled around so many times since then And here we are still gazing at the night We're captured in the magic of its spell again You and I The calico moon wakes in the east And hangs on an amber horizon When I see its light dance in your eyes It reminds me of how lucky I am Where would I be if I didn't have you Lord only knows what I'd do Thank God in heaven for you And the calico moon
