Grapefruit moon, one star shining Shining down on me Heard that tune, now I'm pining Honey, can't you see 'Cause everytime I hear that melody, well Something breaks inside A grapefruit moon and one star shining Can't turn back the tide Never had no destinations Could not get across You became my inspiration Oh, but what a cost And everytime I hear that melody, well Something breaks inside A grapefruit moon, one star shining Is more than I can hide Now I'm smokin' cigarettes And I strive for purity And I slip just like the stars Into obscurity But everytime I hear that melody Puts me up a tree A grapefruit moon, one star shining Is all that I can see
