Shoot Down the Moon Lyrics

Oh no I don't want it
You can take it all
I'll put my money where my mouth is
Put your suitcase in the hall

Oh you robbed me blind
Of what little hope remained
You put a gun to my head
A bullet through my brain

You can't shoot down the moon
Some things never change
We can build a bridge between us
But the empty space remains

You can't shoot down the moon
Some things never change
We can build a bridge between us
But the empty space remains

Just as long as you're around
We live on borrowed time
I'll put my money where my mouth is
You're guilty at the scene of the crime

I never say more than I need
The mystery runs deep
The dangers buried below
The secrets that you keep

"Shoot the Moon"

This song - which I heard for the first time tonight, not only had beautiful vocals, and lyrics, but they are spare and cut to the chase.

They bore into my heart, because they exactly describe my 32 year relation ship for the past several years.

The chorus is repeated, because there's nothing left to say .A tentative truce won't work, or fill your heart with passion.

The connection is gone.

You are room mates that used to be lovers.

And it hurts unendurably., endlessly.

That is all.
