Grapefruit Moon Lyrics - Griffith Nanci

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 I strive for purity 

And I slip just like the stars 

Into obscurity 

Every time I hear that melody 

Puts me up a tree 

And the grapefruit moon 

One star shining 

Is all that I can see
