The Moon Is Down - John Prine

The moon is down

All over town

The forecast is grey

Now that she’s gone away

The stars in the skies

Fell out of her eyes

They shattered when they hit the ground

And now the moon is down

The sun will be fine

It’ll still shine all the time

The sky will be blue

And do what it’s supposed to do

Ya see gravity pulls

But it can’t keep you around

It’ll be one long day

And now the moon is down

The moon is down

All over town

The stars in the skies

Fell out of her eyes

The gravity pulls

But it can’t hold you down

It’ll be one long day

Now the moon is down

It’ll be on long day

Now the moon is down
