Dead Moon

Lyrics

Dead moon tonight I saw his black tongue And it was salamander shaped Oh, it moved like a nightcrawler And I was struck I was overcome, boys and girls I had never seen the likes of it, binoculars I need it farther I turned them backwards I did, and I saw how the most lonesome crow does not caw Where did I go Where did I go Where did I go wrong? I don't even know I don't even know What I lost and now it's gone What I lost and now it's gone Where did I go Where did I go Where did I go wrong? I don't even know I don't even know What I lost and now it's gone What I lost and now it's gone Gone, gone Gone like the highway crow When the cars come, the cars come Dead moon tonight I slid under his thumb And he, he called me whistle bait It hurt me I holler 'til the trees shook birds From the branches there, boys and girls I had never seen such a lot of them ever before Blocking the starlight Darker than dark it was And I cried for the loss What one bird does In turn does the flock Where did I go Where did I go Where did I go wrong? I don't even know I don't even know What I lost and now it's gone What I lost and now it's gone Where did I go Where did I go Where did I go wrong? I don't even know I don't even know What I lost and now it's gone What I lost and now it's gone Gone, gone Gone like the highway crow When the cars come, the cars come
