Grapefruit moon, one star shining,
Shining down on me.
I feel the song, and soon am pining,
For love’s sweet purity.
The road has left me worn and weary;
Gasping while I bide.
Grapefruit moon, one star shining
Cannot turn the tide.
The radio’s gone off the air,
And gives me time to think
Of how long I’ve run on a spare
To make it to the brink.
I ease it out and creep across
As all the lights go down.
Left with lines and lovers lost
By morning, out of town.
Kissing one more block
I Remember someone that I passed.
I let the engine talk.
It whispers, “Home at last.”
And grapefruit moon, one star shining,
Is hard to hide alone.
I hear the song, and soon am pining.
For that someone’s home.
They say if you get far enough away,
You’re on your way back home.
