Half Moon

That morning sky gave me a look
So I left while you were sleeping, that's all it took
And I chalked a line south down the coast
Going where my thirst was open for the things that I don't know
Going where I wasn't paying for the hurt that I owe

One half moon sleeping by the creeks
And a woman put me under her barn roof for a week
I knew her voice before she spake
I saw a grave dug by a preacher just to see what it would make

So hold high how faint your reasons
Boy, you'll never get on
Don't you forget you come from nothing
Boy, you'll never get on
That wind is calling my name and I won't wait, or I'll never get on

It's not hard to live like a ghost
I just haunt all that I've wanted and leave what I don't
I dreamt a trail up to the sky
And my brothers built propellers just to see how far they'd fly

So hold high how faint your reasons
Boy, you'll never get on
Your flashing sparrows chasing with them
Boy, you'll never get on
Don't you forget you come from nothing
Boy, you'll never get on
That wind is calling my name and I won't wait, or I'll never get on
