Wallflowers - Shy of The Moon lyrics

Pretty little girl on the side of the road

Yellow hair in a yellow bow

Little thumb sticking in the exit lane

Two packs of smokes and a candy cane

With women hips and 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

If she's been havin' the same old dreams

Of lullabies and pale blue skies

Fallen 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

If 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 belowbut 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
