[Intro]

[Verse 1]
When I came back from Finland
The taxi took me down the street
Saw the red flowers growing like they used to
By the roadside, in the smothering summer heat

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
You were standing out in front of the house
With your floral print dress on
And you had questions only a masochist would ask
Written all over your big, brown eyes
The moon is high
Over Iowa tonight
And the moon is high
Over Iowa tonight
And I brought your blanket
Hand-woven, hand-dyed
The moon is high
Over Iowa tonight

[Outro]
