Lyrics for Grapefruit Moon
Grapefruit moon One star shining Shining down on me Heard that tune And now I'm pining Honey, can't you see? 'Cause every time I hear that melody, well Something breaks inside And the grapefruit moon One star shining Can't turn back the tide Never had No destinations Could not get acrossed You became My inspiration Oh, but what a cost And every time I hear that melody, well Something breaks inside And the grapefruit moon One star shining Is more than I can hide, yeah Now I'm smoking Cigarettes And I strive for purity And I slip Just like the stars Into obscurity But every time I hear that melody Puts me up a tree And the grapefruit moon One star shining Is all that I can see
