Mariner Moonlighting - Indigo Girls

Mariner Moonlighting

Building for keeps

The art of the theater

And joinery

Something of wood and iron

Steady and strong

The joining of hearts

Is a trick far beyond me

Cupids of heaven

Are painted to mock him

'Cuz baby won’t go (baby won’t go)

Go for that show

I read your name in charcoal

A century ago

I stood in the rafters

The world moved below

All for the reverie

Of rigging and rope

Untangle the tempest of love

Is another man’s calling

The cupids of heaven

Are painted to mock him

'Cuz baby won’t go (baby won’t go)

Go for that show

Oh, to be free

From the swell of the moon

To stand in one place

While she moves to you

The cupids of heaven

Are painted to mock him

'Cuz baby won’t go (baby won’t go)

Go for that show
