grapefruit moon

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 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
