"Love and Theft" · 2001

Moonlight

A soft, old-fashioned crooner's ballad, the eighth track on "Love and Theft".

The words

A man gently invites a woman to come and meet him under the moon.

A man speaks tenderly to a woman, asking her to meet him in the evening and painting a lush, romantic picture of nature at dusk. Each verse returns to the same invitation, so the song feels like a patient serenade. Dylan sings it in a light, crooning style over a lilting arrangement, sounding like a parlour song from long before rock and roll.
