[Verse 1] They call him mad, just a shadow on the ridge, Watching the cars on the highway bridge. He smiles at the crows, whispers to the wind, But the town below just shakes their heads again. [Verse 2] He knows when the rain will kiss the ground, Names every star but makes no sound. Children point, say he’s lost his mind, But he’s counting the dreams they’ve left behind. [Chorus] Ohhh, the man in the moon, Laughs at the clocks that dictate the room. Time’s just a river, he’s already crossed— While we’re counting the minutes, he’s counting the cost. [Verse 3] One day they’ll find his coat and his cane, Left on the hill after the rain. The wind will carry his unfinished tune— Now they’re the fools, and he’s the moon. [Outro] La-la-la, the world spins fast... La-la-la, he saw it last.
