Harpers Ferry Moon

After the wine was gone And the Lord saw that it was good And I misplaced my horizon like you said I would Whatever you needed wasn't mine to give Wasn't much there for two hungry people to live Harpers Ferry Moon Never knew what was goin' wrong You were outta the gate too soon Loved the sound, but you hated the song Harpers Ferry Moon I never wanted to belong and neither did you I think that's why we got along I think that's why we got along Up upon Maryland Heights, Down on the rocks and malt liquorin' Above the railroad bridge at night, Old shadows flickerin' There was blood before our time And there'll be blood to come Some day may we float on back down To where we came from Harpers Ferry Moon Never knew what was goin' wrong You were outta the gate too soon Loved the sound, but you hated the song Harpers Ferry Moon I never wanted to belong and neither did you I think that's why we got along I think that's why we got along Now there's split tongues above you, Most things ain't built for lastin' Were you starved for love or were you fastin'? And there's nothin' much more that you liked Than an old analog motel If you're exitin' the turnpike, I guess it's just as well Harpers Ferry Moon Never knew what was goin' wrong You were outta the gate too soon Loved the sound, but you hated the song Harpers Ferry Moon I never wanted to belong, neither did you I think that's why we got along I think that's why we got along
