Mona Lisa Never Really Smile by MichaelAnthony

Well the moon and I were married
In a ceremony shaded
By an ancient Savannah storm
Throughout the honeymoon we carried
Seeds of oak trees to be buried
At the first site of darker soil

Climbed the sand dunes by the sea
Where nobody'd ever peeve us And we set up the radio
Our days were wasteful, wild and free
As dangerous as the tumblin sea
But her lips they shone like poetry as she sang this song for me:

MONA LISA NEVER SMILE
An Da Vinci never do fly
The Shakers they all die
Charlie Christian never sack the countryside
An although somedays I may hide
And only nighttime will I be your bride
When we're together, you'll never wonder why
Always be your closest shining light

Well it seemed a little scary 
I was never the type to marry 
But my god she satisfied
Every day was dark and gloomy
But the perfume cut right through me
When the sun succomm to night

I climb the sand dunes by the sea
Where nobody'll ever see me And I set up the radio
My nights are wasteful, wild and free
As ominous as the tumblin sea
But everything is clear to me cause she still sings this song for me:

MONA LISA NEVER SMILE
An Da Vinci never does fly
The Shakers they all die
Jimi Hendrix only get to kiss the sky
An although somedays I may hide
And only nighttime will I be your bride
When we're together, you'll never wonder why
Always be your closest shining light

Now the moon and I we wonder 
Why everyday it isn't thunder
And a cracking of the earth
But we try-and-get-by for what it's worth
Cause tonight another virgin birth

MONA LISA NEVER REALLY SMILE
An Da Vinci never does fly
The Shakers they all die
Jimi Hendrix only get to kiss the sky
An although somedays I may hide
And only nighttime will I be your bride
When we're together, you'll never wonder why
Always be your closest shining light
