Another classic music video from the pre-MTV
era, I guess I first saw this video on Don
Kirschner or some other late-night music
show. I love how in the olden days the plot
of a music video actually followed the song's
lyrics. Plus how can you beat a line like
"Trying to make connections with their
blemish-free complexions"? Tags :nesmithmonkees
Just an image with audio, i like Mike
Nesmith's solo stuff and this is an upbeat,
amusing fun track.There's almost a minute of
waves breaking at the end, it's part of the
song so i've left it on. Tags :eclectic

Title Silver moon
See the lazy windmills slowly turning
Cutting up the marble canyons of the sky
See the dust around my feet go churning
Moving with the winds down the highways of
goodbyes
Standing in the lonely light of the silver
moon
Looking over maps of memories for the road
Standing in the lonely light of the silver
moon
With the unexpected destination of my home
Help the thoughts, I'm thinking speak in
sighs
As that same old wave of loneliness returns
As I can see you when I close my eyes
Speaking very softly as you turn
Standing in the lonely light of the silver
moon
Looking over maps of memories for the road
Standing in the lonely light of the silver
moon
With the unexpected destination of my home
Now I must go
Go and let go
Standing in the lonely light of the silver
moon
Looking over maps of memories for the road
Standing in the lonely light of the silver
moon
With the unexpected destination of my home Tags :MichaelMikeNesmithSilverMoon1971
