Midnight Moonlight Lyrics
If you ever feel lonesome when you're down in San Antone
Beg, steal or borrow two nickels or a dime to call me on the phone
And I'll meet you at Alamo Mission, where we can say our prayers
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will heal us as we kneel there
In the moonlight, in the midnight, in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight
If you ever feel sorrow for the deeds you have done
With no hope for tomorrow in the setting of the sun
And the ocean is howling for the things that might have been
And that last good morning sunrise will be the brightest you've ever seen
In the moonlight, in the midnight, in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight
Beg, steal or borrow two nickels or a dime to call me on the phone
And I'll meet you at Alamo Mission, where we can say our prayers
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will heal us as we kneel there
If you ever feel sorrow for the deeds you have done
With no hope for tomorrow in the setting of the sun
And the ocean is howling for the things that might have been
And that last good morning sunrise will be the brightest you've ever seen

The Alamo was a sad instance when Mexico tried to retain control of Texas by killing a bunch of people.
Similar to Little Big Horn, where the Indians won the battle but lost the war, The Alamo was a last gasp of Mexican control over Texas.
This song, by suggesting a meet-up at the chapel in the Alamo to pray to the Virgin for healing, indicates that if people gather to worship and ask forgiveness, even at the scenes of bad events, they won’t be disappointed.
However, the best part of the song is when they sing, “in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight” - which would still be the case even in the event of all the other lyrics telling a different story, imho.
