Graham Parker & The Rumour - Watch The Moon Come Down lyrics

rate me

In this dirty town

There's nothing going for me

No show's going down

That I would want to see

Nothing but the midnight train

In this shady street on a top floor flat

Women take their sheets down to the laundromat

And as the night falls on this town

I'm going to watch the moon come down

Watch the moon come down

I'm goning to watch the moon come down

Watch it come down

As the workmen walk home,

Reflected in the car chrome

Splashing through the gutters and the sand

The birds move in the rafters

Hearing echoes of the laughter

From children in a playground close at hand

And hands inside my pockets,

Staring at the light sockets

Everyone's been blown out

Everyone's been thrown out

I said, "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby"

Watch the moon come down

I’m going to watch the moon come down

I'm ging to watch the moon come down

Watch it come down

If I stay out all night,

Test the midnight train's headlights

I follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend

Now who've I got to let down ?

Tell me somebody with their head down

Bargin' into solid ground in the end

In the end, yeah in the end

Waitin' for the end,

Arrive to the end, hey, hey

I said, "Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby"

Watch the moon come down

Watch the moon come down

Watch the moon come down

Yes, I'm going to watch the moon come down

Yeah, I'm going to watch the moon come down

Like a midnight train

I'm going to watch the moon come down

i’m gonna watch it come down

Yes, I'm going to watch the moon come down

Like a midnight train
