Moon Song Lyrics

followed your road till the sky ran out
followed your love till love was in doubt
followed your love till it never really was at all

feeling stupid and hollow
now the moon's gonna follow me home

waited for you till the snow fell down
over my skin like a thin nightgown
waited for you to never came around at all
waited for you till they pulled the plug
bartender emptied out his big tip jug
they swept all the floors
vacuumed the rugs and went home

drank all i can swallow
now the moon's gonna follow me home

time go easy on me tonight
i'm one of the lost sheep alright
take what you must
take what you must
of what i've lost as i have roamed
and let the moon follow me home

followed your tears with a washing pail
followed your story followed your tale
followed you straight through the doors of your jail cell too
followed your voice in the darkness soft
a wind came through and carried it off
followed your love till it never really was at all

drank all i could swallow
now the moon's gonna follow me home

drank all i could swallow
now the moon's gonna follow me home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is amazing. i think it is about the man she loved passing away. he was her everything and now she is just floating by. this has to be one of the best songs ever written. the imagery and the heartache are almost unbearable.
