Notes

The version on the Black Mountain Boys tape is incomplete, at least one verse is missing. The lyrics used are;

Memories that linger in my heart
Memories that make my heart grow cold
Maybe they'll live again sweetheart
When my blue moon again will turn to gold

When my blue moon turns to gold again
When the rainbow turns the clouds away
When my blue moon turns to gold again
You'll be back in my [arms] to stay

[The castles we used to build] together
Were the sweetest stories ever told
In my dreams I (cut)
