Half Moon

That mornin' sky gave me a look

So I left while you were sleepin', that's all it took

And I chalked a line south down the coast

Goin' where my thirst was open for the things that I don't know

Goin' where I wasn't payin' for the hurt that I owe

One half moon sleepin' by the creeks

And a woman put me under her barn roof for a week

I knew her voice before she spake

I saw a grave dug by a preacher

Just to see what it would make

So hold high, how faint your reasons (Or you'll never get on)

Don't you forget you come from nothin' (Or you'll never get on)

That wind is callin' my name

I won't wait or I'll never get on

It's not hard to live like a ghost

I just haunt all that I've wanted and leave what I don't

I dreamt a trail up to the sky

And my brothers built propellers

Just to see how far they'd fly

So hold high, how faint your reasons (Or you'll never get on)

Your flashing sparrows chasing with them (Or you'll never get on)

Don't you forget you come from nothin' (Or you'll never get on)

That wind is callin' my name

I won't wait or I'll never get on

That wind is callin' my name

I won't wait or I'll never get on

So hold high, how faint your reasons

Hold up high, how faint your reasons

Hold high, how faint your reasons

That wind is callin' my name

I won't wait or I'll never get on
