 (Basic Riff)
 He said I must be dreaming
 But I thought I heard the sound
 The sound that lovers make
 As they drop down from the window
 Quiet as cats, across the courtyard
 Moving from shadow to shadow
 Past the guards to the forest
 So quiet in her still reflection
 Drawing them down to the lake, to the center
 Of her attention
 (End of Riff-basic chord sequence)
Steal  the moon tonight
 Before the morning
Steal  the moon tonight
 I just never had the strength
And  on the westbank a boat  is being pulled across  the sand
 As they move so softly
They  slip into water
As  they don't break the moon's reflection
And  drift like a cloud
To  the center
 Beneath the moon's attention
Still  drawing
Still  drawing
Steal  the moon tonight
 Before the morning
Steal  the moon tonight
I  want to drown  in your moondream
I've  seen you rising from shore to shore
I  want to drown  in your moondream
I've  seen you rising
Steal  the moon tonight
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinneee
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinneee
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinneee

(Basic Riff)
He said I must be dreaming
But I thought I heard the sound
The sound that lovers make
As they drop down from the window
Quiet as cats, across the courtyard
Moving from shadow to shadow
Past the guards to the forest
So quiet in her still reflection
Drawing them down to the lake, to the center
Of her attention
(End of Riff-basic chord sequence)
