New Video For “Young Girl Blues” From The Album, “One Man’s Opinion Of Moonlight.”

by | Sep 19, 2020 | Videos

This wonderful song is from Donovan’s album, “Mellow Yellow,” 1967. Such a strange and moody and romantic piece. It blew my 16-yr. old mind like few other songs ever have. The title for my latest album, “One Man’s Opinion Of Moonlight,” is from a line in this song. You will note that I have two songs from “Mellow Yellow” on my album and I’m sure I’ll cover others in the future. Thank you, Mr. Donovan Leitch. Song licensed from Peer International Corp.

It’s Saturday night
It feels like a Sunday in some ways
If you had any sense
You’d maybe go ‘way for a few days
Be that as it may
You can only say you were lonely
You are but a young girl
Working your way through the phonies

Coffee on, milk gone
Such a sad light unfading
Yourself you touch
But not too much
You hear it’s degrading

The flowers on your stockings
Wilting away in the midnight
The book you are reading
Is one man’s opinion of moonlight
Your skin is so white
You’d like maybe to go to bed soon
Just closing your eyes
If you’re to rise up before noon

High heels, car wheels
All the losers are grooving
Your dream, strange scene
Images are moving

our friends they are making
A pop star or two every evening
You know that scene backwards
They can’t see the patterns they’re weaving
Your friends they’re all models
But you soon got over that one
You sit in your one room
A little brought down in London

Cafe on, milk gone
Such a sad light unfading
Yourself you touch
But not too much
You’ve heard it’s degrading

A Saturday night
It feels like a Sunday in some ways
If you had any sense
You’d maybe go away for a few days
Be that as it may
You can only say you were lonely
You are but a young girl
And you’re working your way through the phonies
