lyrics

The thirstiest guitar player that the world has ever known
Played one night in the pale moonlight for the moon and the moon alone
He played so sweet and lonesome that the moon began to cry
The thirstiest guitar player reached up to dry her eye

And the moon to the guitar player said as I start to sink
We might get close enough and you can have a drink
And the thirstiest guitar player played long and sweet and slow

The moon had known and watched him since he was a small boy
When cool water quenched his thirst and his guitar still a toy
Then life turned mean and stole his dreams and everything went wrong
He began to play his guitar and his thirst just drove him on

And the moon to the guitar player said as I start to sink
We might get close enough and you can have a drink
And the thirstiest guitar player played long and sweet and slow

Til one night the guitar player quenched his thirst like never before
And the tears of the crying moon would come to him no more
Without his thirsting the player was satisfied
The player put down his guitar and the moon she dried her eyes
And the thirstiest guitar player never played again to see
The moon kept all her tears welled up in the Sea of Tranquility

The thirstiest guitar player that the world has ever known
Played one night in the pale moonlight for the moon and the moon alone
