As a collector of moon songs I felt this new cover of Cigarettes After Sex belonged on my Spotify playlist. This beautiful song is originally a country song by Brooks & Dunn. Cigarettes After Sex added their so typical soft style to it and although almost every song sounds the same, I’m still not bored with them. On the contrary! I’m specifically in love with the first verse. Listen and enjoy.
When the sun goes down
On my side of town
That lonesome feeling
Comes to my door
The whole world turns blue
There’s a rundown bar
Cross the railroad tracks
I’ve got a table for two
Way in the back
Where I sit alone
And think of you
I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of a neon moon
If you lose your one and only
There’s always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
I think of two young lovers
Running wild and free
I close my eyes
And sometimes see
You in the shadows
Of this smoke-filled room
No telling how many tears
I’ve sat here and cried
Or how many lies
That I’ve lied
Telling my poor heart
You will come back oneday
I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of a neon moon
If you lose your one and only
There’s always room here for the lonely
To watch your broken dreams
Dance in and out of the beams
Of a neon moon
But I’ll be alright
As long as there’s light
From a neon moon
And I’ll be alright
As long as there’s light
From a neon moon
