Grapefruit Moon Songtext
von Nanci Griffith

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 a 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 a 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 a grapefruit moon, one star shining
Is all that I can see
