Nanci Griffith - Grapefruit Moon lyrics
[Nanci Griffith - Grapefruit Moon lyrics]
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
Strive for purity and I'll slip just like
The stars into obscurity
Every time I hear that melody
It puts me up a tree
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining
Is all that I can see
