Shootin' for the Moon

Waitin' there by the side of the river
Waitin' there, but she did not show
Wringin' his hands and shakin' his head
Checkin' his watch, it's time to go

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash-landed in the Crescent City

I hear the truth, it's all you can see
But there is a trick in the thick of it all
The ghost in the fog is a thin line
Between first light and last call

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash-landed in the Crescent City

Waitin' there by the side of the river
Ready to cross to the other shore
Standin' there by the side of the river
It never looked so wide before

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash-landed in the Crescent City

They say the sky is the limit
Reflected in the mirror of mighty Mississippi
Shootin' for the moon
Crash-landed in the Crescent City
