Lyrics It’s a long way home I’m not even counting the miles All my fears Like yesterday Are so far gone Fallen through the surface of the sun Now here I am Blinded by the endless sand ‘Cos I could not survive That distant blue of life I knew I had to get away I was searching for the moonlight But I’m much better now I’m not waiting for I’m not waiting for the moonlight ’Cos I’m hoping to find What’s on the other side Across the borderline Where emptiness resides It’s a long time now Since I gave up and left paradise All those dreams Are memories They’re so far gone Fallen through the surface of the sun The stars are lines They draw me up into the night Sequin silver, polar white My sacrifice Is this divide As deep as heaven’s appetite And I was searching for the moonlight But I’m much better now I’m not waiting for I’m not waiting for the moonlight ’Cos I’m hoping to find What’s on the other side Across the borderline Where emptiness resides Moonlight Moonlight But I’m much better now I’m not waiting for I’m not waiting for the moonlight ’Cos I’m hoping to find What’s on the other side And I was searching for the moonlight But I’m much better now I’m not waiting for I’m not waiting for the moonlight ’Cos I’m hoping to find What’s on the other side Across the borderline Where emptiness resides
The harmonies, the holding of the notes and the general cool effortless vibes this song creates blows me away. Been waking up for the past month with this in my head .... moooooonnnnnliiigghtt
I saw kawala when they were opening for dodie and ever since I have been in love with their music. They are incredible live and their music is so unique and addictive! Really hope they get more exposure as more people deserve to have their ears blessed 💓
How magic to see the fellas back. Those old 'Kept in the Dark' feels you only get with the best of tunes have been reignited with a vigour. Such Musical Prowess
Reminds me of being in Tahoe eating oven fired pizza and drinking a Moscow mule in a tavern. Looking out at the snowy mountains and lake in the winter. Take me there NOW! 🏔 🌲 🍕 🍺
tbh i find the actual writing & composition to be heavily derivative of simon & garfunkel & pretty far from seismically "original" but that doesn't make it any less pleasant. Just probably last on the list of things that makes it interesting, lol
Hey, I, as apparently everyone else, adore this song and especially its positive message! :) Great performance and incredibly pleasing voices, too! Does anyone have the chords for acoustic guitar? I'd love to play this masterpiece myself!
