Lyrics
Hollow Moon
By Jeffrey C. Capps
Bless the landscape
And the highway that carried you
Through the soundscape
Of a thousand trees cut in two
A subtle knowing
Of the circumstance
That brought you here
A harsh wind blowing
Away the things
That once seemed so near
Hum a tune
To the hollow moon
Miss the season
Of carelessness and broken hearts
For no reason but to stop the blood
Before it starts to flow
Do you ever come home before you go
Do you ever come before you…
Hum a tune
To the hollow moon
You can’t see through
What if your eyes were so wild
What if your smile was so wide
And you forgot
How to cry
How to cry
Throw the first pitch
Directly into the ground
Bury the last pitch
Far away, safe from the sound
Throw the first pitch
Directly into the ground
Bury the last pitch
Far away, safe from the sound
Where you…
Hum a tune
To the hollow moon
You can’t see through
Hum a tune
To the hollow moon
You can’t see through
