Clocks and Spoons
John Prine
[Verse 1]
Clocks and spoons, empty rooms, it's raining out tonight
What a way to end a day by turnin' out the light
Shoot the moon right between the eyes, I'm sending
Most of me to sunny countryside
[Verse 2]
Runnin' through sky of blue, rollin' in the sun
Every day has a way of overflowing one
Shoot the moon right between the eyes, I'm keeping
Most of me in sunny countryside
[Verse 3]
Don't know how I did that now, wonder where it's gone
Must have spent the way I went waitin' for the dawn
Shoot the moon right between the eyes, I'm screaming
Take me back to sunny countryside
[Outro]
Shoot the moon right between the eyes, I'm screaming
Take me back to sunny countryside
Clocks and spoons, empty rooms, it's raining out tonight
