The Moonbeam Song Lyrics

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A MOONBEAM
AS IT SLITHER CROSS YOUR WINDOW-PANE?
OR STRUGGLE WITH A BIT OF RAIN?
OR DANCE ABOUT THE WEATHERVANE?
OR SETTLE ON A MOVING TRAIN AND WONDER WHERE THE TRAIN'S BEEN?

OR ON A FENCE WITH BITS OF CRAP AROUND IT'S BOTTOM,
BLOWN THERE BY WINDBEAM?
WHO SEARCHES FOR THE MOONBEAM
WHO WAS LAST SEEN LOOKING AFTER TRACKS OF THE CARELESS WINDBEAM?
MOVIN' TO THE TRACKS OF THE TIRELESS FREIGHT TRAIN,
THEN LIGHTING UP THE SITE OF THE WEATHERVANE
AND THE BITS OF RAIN, AND THE WINDOW-PANE,
AND THE EYES OF THOSE WHO THINK THEY SAW IT HAPPEN.

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A MOONBEAM
AS IT SLITHER CROSS YOUR WINDOW-PANE?
OR STRUGGLE WITH A BIT OF RAIN?
OR DANCE ABOUT THE WEATHERVANE?
OR SETTLE ON A MOVING TRAIN AND WONDER WHERE THE TRAIN'S BEEN?

AH -
AH -
AH -
LOOKING AFTER TRACKS OF THE CARELESS WINDBEAM?
MOVIN' TO THE TRACKS OF THE TIRELESS FREIGHT TRAIN,
THEN LIGHTING UP THE SITE OF THE WEATHERVANE
AND THE BITS OF RAIN, AND THE WINDOW-PANE,
AND THE EYES OF THOSE WHO THINK THEY SAW IT HAPPEN.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
