Reckless Night Lyrics by Forester Sisters

The Forester Sisters

1985

[Verse 1]
It's a runnin'-out-of-luck town in old Virginia
Honeysuckle scents the new night air
In the churchyard stands a child comforting her child
Seeking refuge from the shame she bears
[Chorus]
Oh, she rocks her baby in the cool moonlight
A legacy of a reckless night
She rocks her baby in the blue moonlight
A legacy of a reckless night
[Verse 2]
Deep inside the church, a choir is singing
Songs of sweet forgiveness for mankind
Her lover stands within, believing God's forgiven him
And cleansed him of the sin he'll always hide
[Chorus]
Oh, she rocks her baby in the cool moonlight
A legacy of a reckless night
She rocks her baby in the blue moonlight
A legacy of a reckless night
[Bridge]
In the deep green grass that grows outside of town
Another boy lays his girl down
As Heaven's veers come washing over them
Souls are lost, never to be found again
[Chorus]
Oh, she rocks her baby in the cool moonlight
A legacy of a reckless night
She rocks her baby in the blue moonlight
A legacy of a reckless night
[Outro]
She rocks her baby in the blue moonlight
A legacy of a reckless night
