Moon Shone for the Music

Pub punk, group vocals, gang vocals, group chant

[Verse 1 – lead]
We set up camp by the lakeside pier  
Old wood creaked but the night felt clear  
No stage in sight, no lights to bring  
Just a guitar in hand  
And a need to sing

[Verse 1 – background]
(and a need to sing)

[Chorus – all]
Moon shone for the music! (for the music!)
Night moved slow! (moved slow!)
He said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!)
And the whole pier seemed to know!

Moon shone for the music! (for the music!)
Stars leaned in! (leaned in!)
He never stopped playing  
Till the sun came up again! (came up again!)

[Verse 2 – lead]
Tents by the shore, boots in the grass  
Pints passed around as the hours passed  
People came and went, sometimes one by one  
But he kept the chords moving  
Till the darkness was done

[Verse 2 – background]
(till the darkness was done)

[Chorus – all]
Moon shone for the music! (for the music!)
Night moved slow! (moved slow!)
He said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!)
And the whole pier seemed to know!

Moon shone for the music! (for the music!)
Stars leaned in! (leaned in!)
He never stopped playing  
Till the sun came up again! (came up again!)

[Bridge – chant, steady rhythm under stars]
Never a break! (never a break!)
Never a pause! (never a pause!)
Song after song! (song after song!)
Like the night had its cause!

Never a break! (never a break!)
Never a pause! (never a pause!)
Long after we tired  
He kept singing our flaws!

Never a break! (never a break!)
Never a pause! (never a pause!)
He played every sorrow  
Till it turned to applause!

Never a break! (never a break!)
Never a pause! (never a pause!)
He pulled up the morning  
With the strength of his strums!

[Chorus – all]
Moon shone for the music! (for the music!)
Night moved slow! (moved slow!)
He said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!)
And the whole pier seemed to know!

Moon shone for the music! (for the music!)
Stars leaned in! (leaned in!)
He never stopped playing  
Till the sun came up again! (came up again!)

[Final Chorus – all, same written form]
Moon shone for the music! (for the music!)
Night moved slow! (moved slow!)
He said “I’m Dail Milton!” (Milton!)
And the whole pier seemed to know!

Moon shone for the music! (for the music!)
Stars leaned in! (leaned in!)
He never stopped playing  
Till the sun came up again! (came up again!)
