Songtexte
Clocks and spoons and empty rooms
It's raining out tonight
What a way to end a day
By turnin' out the light
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
I'm sending most of me to sunny countryside
Runnin' through sky of blue
Rollin' in the sun
Every day has a way
Of overflowing wine
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
I'm keeping most of me in sunny countryside
Don't know how I did that now
Wonder where it's gone
Must have spent the way I went
Waitin' for the dawn
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
I'm screaming
Take me back to sunny countryside
Shoot the moon right between the eyes
I'm screaming
Take me back to sunny countryside
Clocks and spoons and empty rooms
It's raining out tonight
