The Wallflowers

The Wallflowers - Shy Of The Moon lyrics

Yellow hair in a yellow bow

Little thumb stickin' in the exit lane

Two packs of smokes and a candy cane

Woman hips, baby lips

A Hallelujah book in the back of a pillow slip

If she gets out of here too soon

She'll run fast by the shy of the moon

She's been havin' the same old dreams

Of lullabies and pale blue skies

Fallin' asleep beneath the stars

Orion aims and shoots his arrows oh so far

Aims 'em hard

He shoots the moon and takes her as his own reward.

If she's gonna see those stars too soon

She'll run fast by the shy of the moon.

She found out so long ago

That she wants more than all she knows

The river ends right as she goes

Water breaks and she's gone down in the undertow

She's below

I'll stand tall and hold up high my mistletoe

She's gonna shine just like brand new,

She'll take my hand and we'll run by the shy of the moon
