Grapefruit moon, one star shining,

shining down on me.

Heard that tune, now I'm pining,

honey, can't you see?
Heard that tune, 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.
well, something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star

shining, can't turn back the tide.
And the grapefruit moon, one star

shining, can't turn back the tide.
INSTRUMENTAL
could not get across.

You became my inspiration,

oh but what a cost.
You became my inspiration,

oh but what a cost.
oh but what a cost.
'Cause every time I hear that melody,
something breaks inside,
And the grapefruit moon, one star

shining, is more than I can hide.

And the grapefruit moon, one star

And the grapefruit moon, one star

shining, is more than I can hide.
INSTRUMENTAL
Now I'm smoking cigarettes
and I strive for purity,
And I slip like

the stars into obscurity.
'Cause every time I hear that melody,

puts me up a tree,
grapefruit moon. one star

shining, is all that I can see.
puts me up a tree,

grapefruit moon. one star

shining, is all that I can see.
grapefruit moon. one star

shining, is all that I can see.
shining, is all that I can see.
