South Ferry Road Lyrics
The night we stole the moon, a pirate's paradise
The light along the ocean was in your eyes
It ended all too soon, it started suddenly
The bridge was almost open when we arrived
And when I thought I was lost you carried me across
Laughing through the fallout zone
You touched me in a way I'd never known
And in the salt-scented air I followed you there
You taught me everything I know
I'm going down again....
South Ferry Road
We found a place to land, a space-age hideaway
Safe inside the shelter, just you and I
The night we stole the moon you gave it back to me
The light along the ocean was our goodbye
But even still, now and then, I remember you when
Laughing all the way back home
You touched me in a way I've never known
And all the others remain just faces in a game
Remind me of a place I know
I'm going down again....
South Ferry Road
The light along the ocean was in your eyes
It ended all too soon, it started suddenly
The bridge was almost open when we arrived
Laughing through the fallout zone
You touched me in a way I'd never known
And in the salt-scented air I followed you there
You taught me everything I know
I'm going down again....
South Ferry Road
Safe inside the shelter, just you and I
The night we stole the moon you gave it back to me
The light along the ocean was our goodbye
Laughing all the way back home
You touched me in a way I've never known
And all the others remain just faces in a game
Remind me of a place I know
I'm going down again....

This is a VERY good song. In my opinion, it's the most underrated Hooters song.
Oh, and it's obviously about a nostalgic man who's "going down" South Ferry Road, which conjures up many romantic images of a girl he once knew and loved.
I've just "re-discovered" this song after hearing it 20+ years ago. I'm big into lyrics and their meaning, so I was trying to figure this one out. If I had to guess, it sounds like an apocolyptic moment (nuclear war?) happened the night he was with his woman. Then, after surviving the "fallout" for a year she died...or something.
I could be wrong...heck if I know.
