Grapefruit Moon — текст песни (Tom Waits)

Grapefruit Moon

Grapefruit moon, one star shining,
shining down on me.
Heard that tune, and now I`m pining,
honey, can`t you see?
`Cause every time I hear that melody,
well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining,
can`t turn back the tide.

Never had no destination, could not get across.
You became my inspiration, oh but what a cost.
`Cause every time I hear that melody,
well, 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.
`Cause every time I hear that melody,
well, puts me up a tree,
And the grapefruit moon, one star shining,
is all that I can see.
