Grapefruit moon
|
One star shining
|
Shining down on me
|
I heard that tune and now I'm pining
|
Honey, can't you see
|
Every time I hear that melody
|
Something breaks inside
|
And the grapefruit moon
|
One star shining
|
Can't turn back the tide
|
|
Never had no destination
|
Could not get across
|
And you became my inspiration
|
Oh, but what a cost
|
Every time I hear that melody
|
Something breaks inside
|
And the grapefruit moon
|
One star shining
|
Is more than I can hide
|
|
Now I'm smoking cigarettes
|
And I strive for purity
|
And I slip just like the stars
|
Into obscurity
|
Every time I hear that melody
|
Puts me up a tree
|
And the grapefruit moon
|
One star shining
|
Is all that I can see
|
