Story Behind The Song

If I saw a moose in Brooklyn I'd believe it to be a religious experience

Song Description

At times when one is very down one experiences an episode, an interaction, that can change the entire tone of the day.

Lyrics

Getting up was such a trial, he couldn't see, he couldn't smile
His imagination in denial, he had no place to go
He had nothing left to show, for all his living days
But that was before, he finally saw
Could not believe his eyes, a surreal surprise
On that misty day, in Sheepshead Bay, he saw a moose in Brooklyn

He once thought that all was lost, when emptiness became his boss
Finding too late that the cost, was too much for him to bear
The edge of that despair, almost whittled him away
But that was before, he finally saw
Could not believe his eyes, a surreal surprise
On that misty day, in Sheepshead Bay, he saw a moose in Brooklyn

He was assured the going rate, for those like him who couldn't wait
Was to crawl inside a leap of faith, so he wouldn't have to think
So he sipped that magic drink, and prayed that he'd be saved
But that was before, he finally saw
Could not believe his eyes, a surreal surprise
On that misty day, in Sheepshead Bay, he saw a moose in Brooklyn

He sometimes wondered if his time, was nothing more than a lost rhyme
A poem that travels down a line, to its final end
And when he drops his pen, will it vanish in a haze
But that was before, he finally saw
Could not believe his eyes, a surreal surprise
On that misty day, in Sheepshead Bay, he saw a moose in Brooklyn
