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
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 Explain Request ×
