Artist/Band: Nanci Griffith
Lyrics for Song: Grapefruit Moon
Lyrics for Album: Ruby's Torch [2006]



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 a 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

It's 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


Grapefruit Moon
