Grapefruit Moon Lyrics

Grapefruit Moon (Tom Waits 1973)
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 grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back the tide Never had no destinations, could not get across You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost And every time I hear that melody, something breaks inside And 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 But every time I hear that melody, puts me up a tree And grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see

Grapefruit Moon
(Tom Waits 1973)

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 grapefruit moon, one star shining, can't turn back the tide

Never had no destinations, could not get across
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost
And every time I hear that melody, something breaks inside
And 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
But every time I hear that melody, puts me up a tree
And grapefruit moon, one star shining, is all that I can see
