Don Henley - Talking to the Moon Lyrics

Talking to the Moon
written: D. Henley and J.D. Souther

When the hot September sun down in Texas
Has sucked the streams bone dry and turned to roads to dust --
In the sleepy little towns down in Texas
The shades are all pulled down; the streets are all rolled up.
And the only thing that breaks the silence are the trucks a-passin' by
And late at night on the front porch swing
Y ou can hear their mournful sigh
And the lonesome whippoorwill cries to the stars above
He was callin' out for his lady love
She's been gone so long

I was just talkin' to the moon
Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over
The memory of you -- too hard to hold

And the wind across the plains is all that now remains
You know, the night shakes loose the names
But they never quite go back the way they came

So, good-bye rodeo
It's a long, funny way for a man to go
And never change
And never change at all

I was just talkin' to the moon
Hopin' someday soon that I’d be over
The memory of you -- too hard to hold on

I was just talkin' to the moon
Hopin' someday soon that I'd be over
The memory of you
