Emmylou Harris
Moon Song
[Verse]
Followed your road 'til the sky ran out
Followed your love 'til love was in doubt
Followed your love 'til it never really was at all
Feeling stupid and hollow
Now the moon's gonna follow me home

[Verse]
Waited for you 'til the snow fell down
Over my skin like a thin nightgown
Waited for you but you never came around at all

[Verse]
Waited for you 'til 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 is gonna follow me home

[Bridge]
Time go easy on me tonight
'Cause 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
'Cause I'm one of the lost sheep, alright
Take what you must, take what you must
Of what I've lost as I have roamed
And let the moon follow me home

[Verse]
Followed your tears with a washing pail
I followed your story, I followed your tale
Followed you straight through the doors of your jail cell too

[Verse]
Followed your voice in the darkness soft
A wind came through and carried it off
I followed your love 'til it never really was at all
Drank all I could swallow
Now the moon's gonna follow me home

Followed your road 'til the sky ran out
