Shy Of The Moon Lyrics - The Wallflowers - The Wallflowers

Pretty little girl on the side of the road 

Yellow hair in a yellow bow 

Little thumb stickin' in the exit lane 

Two packs of smokes and a candy cane 

Woman hips, baby lips 

A Hallelujah book in the back of a pillow slip 

If she gets out of here too soon 

She'll run fast by the shy of the moon 

She's been havin' the same old dreams 

Of lullabies and pale blue skies 

Fallin' asleep beneath the stars 

Orion aims and shoots his arrows oh so far 

Aims 'em hard 

He shoots the moon and takes her as his own reward.

If she's gonna see those stars too soon 

She'll run fast by the shy of the moon. 

Photos 

She found out so long ago 

That she wants more than all she knows 

The river ends right as she goes 

Water breaks and she's gone down in the undertow 

She's below 

I'll stand tall and hold up high my mistletoe 

She's gonna shine just like brand new, 

She'll take my hand and we'll run by the shy of the moon.
