Cold Blue Moonlight Lyrics

Tonight the entire moon's right down on top of you
Inciting them deep blue dreams
Phantom beams fathoming severed rememberings
Whatever, it's just a dead rock in the sky but it's
Shining light on all that love you buried alive

In the cold blue moonlight
Bedazzling, bedeviling, bizarre
Jolting you right to the shrapnel
Of an old broken heart
Gonna be a battle getting better
It's gonna get bad alright
Better let me hold you through the
Cold blue moonlight

Miss Simone moaning some good old oblivion
And sweet relinquishing
But that phonograph spent its momentum an hour ago
And you can't seem to move from this room where you froze
Like an animal helpless in the oncoming beams

Of the cold blue moonlight
Bedazzling, bedeviling, bizarre
Jolting you right to the shrapnel
Of an old broken heart
Gonna be a battle getting better
It's gonna get bad alright
Better let me hold you through the
Cold blue moonlight

The sun rises starry-eyed, rising entirely
Like it was nothing at all
I wake up, it's midnight and Nina's still moaning low
You're still dead and I'm still along with a long ways to
Go 'til I can stand to face this painfully clear

Cold blue moonlight
Bedazzling, bedeviling, bizarre
Jolting me right to the shrapnel
Of my whole broken heart
Gonna be a battle getting better
It's gonna get bad alright
Guess I gotta go through
The cold blue moonlight

Cory Branan is a singer/songwriter, born in Southaven, Mississippi. He garnered comparisons to Ryan Adams, Pete Yorn, and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst with the release of his 2002 debut album The Hell You Say.

By his teens, Branan was playing hard rock and heavy metal, eventually fronting a Black Sabbath cover band. In his early 20s he began to explore the music of John Prine, a move which urged him to pick up a guitar and start writing songs. In 2000, the Memphis chapter of NARAS awarded Branan with the Phillips Award for "Newcomer of the Year." He didn't even have a recording contract yet, and the acclaim started rolling in. Two years later, Branan made his label debut with Memphis' Madjack Records with the release of The Hell You Say. In 2003 he appeared on both The Late Show with David Letterman and Last Call With Carson Daly.

In March 2006, after almost four years, Branan released his second album 12 Songs again on Madjack Records. Blender Magazine, commenting on the time it took for Branan to record his sophomore effort, said, "12 Songs justifies the sabatical."
