Emmylou Harris Moon Song Lyrics

Moon Song Lyrics

Followed your road till the sky ran out

Followed your love till love was in doubt

I Followed your love till it never really was at all

Feeling stupid and hollow

Now the moon's gonna follow me home



Waited for you till the snow fell down

Over my skin like a thin nightgown

Waited for you but you never came around at all

Waited for you till they pulled the plug

Bartender emptied out his big tip jug



They swept all the floors

Vacuumed the rugs and went home

Drank all I could swallow

Now the moon's gonna follow me home



Time go easy on me tonight

'Cos I'm one of the lost sheep

Take what you must, take what you must

Of what I've lost as I have roamed

And let the moon follow me home



Time go easy on me tonight

'Cos I'm one of the lost sheep

Take what you must, take what you must

Of what I've lost as I have roamed

And let the moon follow me home



Followed your tears with a washing pail

I followed your story, I followed your tail

Followed you straight through the doors of your jail cell too

Followed your voice in the darkness soft

A wind came through and carried it off



Followed your love till it never really was at all

Drank all I could swallow

Now the moon's gonna follow me home

Followed your road till the sky ran out
