about

Isn't it a universal experience to fall in love with being on vacation and swear you will change your life in order to live in an idyllic location?

lyrics

There’s a full moon rising over Half Moon Bay
You always swear you’re coming back to stay
But the plane leaves tomorrow
And you know you’ll be on board
There’s still something missing
from that master plan
Hatched in a hammock here in Roatan
Blown in with the breezes
But you’re leaving with the tide
So fare thee well, Sweet Caribbean
This is the last time I’m leaving you behind
And here’s to you, senoritas
Look for me by moonrise – Half moon moonrise
Your first love down here was the Yucatan
And then lying in that warm Puerto Rican sand
Had you ready to pack up
And you nearly cut the cord
But you’ll dream of the rhythms of Montego Bay
While scraping the windshield in your cold driveway
The frost and the freezes, the risk and the reward
Now the sun is rising over Half Moon Bay
The driver knows you’re coming back to stay
He smiles in the mirror
yeah he’s heard it all before
But you still have work left on that master plan
Caught between money and the moonlit sand
The rent and the runway
The breakers and the shore

The Harley String Band is a trio of bold singer-songwriters who just happen to favor banjo, mandolin, and bouzouki in support of their adventurous songscapes. Jim, Jim, and Steve are old enough to remember when folk music was considered important and relevant, and they work to meet that expectation. ... more
