The wind blows, rain into my face
The sun glows at the end of the highway
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

She shivers, by the light she is hidden
She flickers like a lamp lady vision
Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes
Child of the moon
Give me a wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

The first car on the foggy road riding
The last star for my lady is pining
Oh, child of the moon, bid the sun arise
Oh, child of the moon
Give me a misty day, pearly gray, silver, silky faced
Wide-awake crescent-shaped smile

    I'd like to comment further about the possible allusion to drugs in the song. From that perspective, the prospect of joy I refer to above could suggest a drug trip gone splendidly (a wide-awake pleasure). As if to say "don't knock me out but don't throw me to the sun either". In this interpretation, the moon ("she") can be seen as the drug itself.
