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