Elvis Costello - You Hung The Moon Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The homecoming fanfare is echoing still
  • Now tapping on tables
  • And sensing a chill
  • Poor families expecting loved one's return
  • Only summon some charlatan spectre
  • Oh, when will they learn?
  • You hung the moon
  • From a gallows in the sky
  • Choked out the light
  • From his blue lunar eye
  • The shore is a parchment
  • The sea has no tide
  • Since he was taken from my side
  • The lines of the fallen are viewed through a glass
  • But you cannot touch them at all
  • Or hear their footfall just as they go past
  • The drunken ground is where they are bound
  • You hung the moon
  • From a gallows in the sky
  • Put out the light in his blue lunar eye
  • The shore is a parchment
  • The sea has no tide
  • Since he was taken from my side
  • So slap out his terrors
  • And sneer at his tears
  • We deal with deserters like this
  • From the breech to the barrel, the bead we will level
  • Break earth with a shovel, quick march on the double
  • Lower him shallow like tallow down in the abyss
  • You hung the moon
  • From a gallows in the sky
  • Choked out the light in his blue lunar eye
  • The shore is a parchment
  • The sea has no tide
  • Since he was taken from my side
