Grapefruit Moon - Nanci Griffith

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 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
