From the recording Out Late
Lyrics
Drunk on the Moon Words & Music By Diana Di Gioia
I got drunk on the moon last night
Her shadows and phases were lined up just right
I poured myself a moon beam, and held it to the light
I got drunk on the moon last night
I went wild in the fields last night
The fireflies and honeysuckle drew me outside
My feet in the clover
The stars in my eyes
I went wild in the fields last night
The sweet smell of summer
Like a lover who’s been away too long
I wanna breathe you, and hold you, and roll in your hay
Until every last summer evening is gone
I went dancing on the beach last night
The waves drummed the rhythm, with all of their might
I bathed in her briny sweetness, then flowed home with the tide
I went dancing on the beach last night
The sweet smell of summer
Like a lover who’s been away too long
I wanna breathe you, and hold you, and roll in your hay
Until every last summer evening is gone
I got drunk on the moon last night
Her shadows and phases were lined up just right
I poured myself a moon beam, and I held it to the light
I got drunk on the moon last night
Once again
I got drunk on the moon last night
