Verrazano Moon

c. 2006 Joe Locke

Went to your house today
A broken heart along the way
The message hanging on your door
Said “Gone fishin’,” nothing more

And the road home is dark now
As I make one request of you
That’s to guide me, guide me with a tune
Beneath this Verrazano moon

And I will write it down
And keep the memory of its sweet sound

I wonder if, if you knew
Just how much light I got from you
But this bright Verrazano moon
Tonight will have to see me through
