Tom Waits - Closing Time

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 destinations
Could not get acrossed

You became
My inspiration
Oh, but what a cost

And every time I hear that melody, well
Something breaks inside
And the grapefruit moon
One star shining
Is more than I can hide, yeah

Now I'm smoking
Cigarettes
And I strive for purity

And I slip
Just like the stars
Into obscurity

But every time I hear that melody
Puts me up a tree
And the grapefruit moon
One star shining
Is all that I can see
