How can I interpret this lyrics? Julie and little John Tyler lived in the house next door We would be the great triangle and to this we swore Julie was my sweetheart, little John was my cohort And all the wild horses in the world couldn't keep us apart Once we went for a swim in the noonday sun And promised to return before the moon struck one (The band "Moon Struck One") Why is this "struck" (not "strike")? And what does the last phrase mean?
