The good time diamonds dance the lake to autumns sickly tune
Midnight Babies eat their cake
Babies blue
Now follow you...
Tumbling through the orchard trees, fear the dawn is soon
Wicked laughter taints the breeze
Babies blue
Now to follow you
Chasing orchard moons
Chasing orchard moons...
Mama?
She don't understand you, you must be this way...
Smash their heads against the night, summer babies bloom
Give them cake and make them cry
Babies blue
Taking after you...
Beat a path towards the sky, Mama died in June
Pity them, they know not why
They follow you
They are happy blue
Mama?
Now I'm turning too...
Leave this midnight babies 'lone
They refuse to hear you
Let them cry and let them go
Chase their orchard moons...And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a song that will not die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely night dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
When stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
A paradise where roses bloom
Though I dream in vain
In my heart i know it will always remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain
