Yonder Mountain String Band - Half Moon Rising lyrics

There's a house somewhere I know where's the fire's burn all night long There's a swing outside on the porch where I feel I could rock away the dusk until the dawn And even though the wind may now be howlin' Stars are bright and they push me on and on There's a half moon risin' in the south eastern skies There's a cold wind blowing across the great divide And the stars they guide my way across the night There's a half moon rising, pushin' me on to another mountain top Push me on, no I'll never stop, push me on home There's a half moon rising in the south eastern skies tonight now the shoes on my feet, those soles broken down and my coat is tattered and worn And the hunger in my belly, and the fever in my head will vanish 'ere my first glimpse of home And even though the rain may now be fallin' The pa**ion is deep and pushes me on There's a still at dawn like the sound of your loves breath as she lies sleeping Down below me now in the valley is the only piece on earth that I ever want to know And her lips are as soft as I remember She alone has brought me back on home
