Lyrics

By an old worn dumpster, where shadows softly play
A raccoon sits in silence as the evening turns to gray
The moonlight spills like silver on that alleyway so cold
And his heart beats a lonely rhythm, with a story left untold

He says,
"Oh, mooooon, shine your lantern
I'm waiting for my love
Oooh, moon...
In this quiet, empty corner, wearing shadows like a glove
I'm just a raccoon dreamin',
Alone under the moon."

He recalls the nights when they'd dance beneath the stars,
To the whisper of the leaves, and the hum of old cars,
But with no one to dance along, just him and mice and dust,
He sits under the moon, with a heart that's turned to rust

He says,
"Oh, mooooon, shine your lantern
I'm waiting for my love
Oooh, moon...
In this quiet, empty corner, wearing shadows like a glove
I'm just a raccoon dreamin',
Alone under the moon."

And when the city lights fade,
And the sun begins to rise
He'll still be by that dumpster,
Rubbing sleep from his eyes.
As the sun glows softly on
His fur so gray and worn...
Our raccoon friend will find hope
In the new day that's been born.
