In the back of the picture show,
stands a man while the lights are low
Lola turns round while the screen is gleaming,
Juan doesn’t shy away
no not today
he’s drawn to her as the moon draws water.
Babies cry and scream next door,
east 110th st, the poorest poor
Juan comes home, tired and beaten
Lola doesn’t shy away,
no not today
she’s drawn to him as the moon draws water
As the moon draws water,
a lonely man
calling to his natural daughter
Lola and Juan are rocking slow
when their song comes on the radio
Lola leans close, her hearts a beating
juan doesn’t shy away
no not today
they’re drawing in…
I never seen nobody fall away easy from love
I never met somebody that you’d call easy to love
I never seen nobody fall away easy from love,
I never met somebody that you’d call easy to love
As the moon draws water,
as the moon draws water
a lonely man, calling to his natural daughter
as the moon draws water
a lonely man, calling to his natural daughter
