Nanci Griffith - Grapefruit Moon lyrics

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 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
