Moonlight Mile

The Rolling Stones · The Rolling Stones Box Set [2009]

When the wind blows and the rain feels cold

with a head full of snow

with a head full of snow

In the window there's a face you know

Don't the night pass slow?

Don't the night pass slow?



Sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind

Just another mad, mad day on the ro-oad

I am just living to be lying by your side

But I'm just about a moonlight mile, on down the road



Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes

Gonna warm my bones,

gonna warm my bones

I got silence on my radio

Let the air waves flow,

let the air waves flow

For I am sleeping under strange strange skies

Just another mad, mad day on the road

My dreams is fading down the railway line

I'm just about a moonlight mile down the ro-oad-woad



Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



I'm riding sister and I'm dreamin'

I'm riding down your moonlight mile

I'm riding sister and I'm dreamin'

I'm riding down your moonlight mile

I'm riding down your moonlight mile

Let it go now, come on up baby

Yeah, let it go now, yeah come on now baby

Say

Yeah, I'm coming home 'cause



I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

on down the road, down the road

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah baby ahhh
