The Wallflowers - Shy Of The Moon lyrics

Pretty little girl on the side of the road Yellow hair in a yellow bow Little thumb stickin' in the exit lane Two packs of smokes and a candy cane Woman hips, 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 She's been havin' the same old dreams Of lullabies and pale blue skies Fallin' 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 She found out so long ago That she wants more than all she knows River ends right as she goes Water breaks and she's gone down in the undertow She's below 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
