Lyrics Watch The Moon Come Down - Graham Parker, The Rumour

Watch The Moon Come Down

G c In this dirty town there’s nothing going for me
G c No shows going down that i would want to see
G em c Nothing but the midnight tra----in
G c In this shady street on a top floor flat
G c Women take their sheets down to the laundromat
G em c And as the night falls on this to-----wn
G d em d c
I’m going to watch the moon come down
G d em d c Watch the moon come down
G d em d c
I’m gonna watch the moon come down
G d em d Watch it come down
G c As the workmen walk home, reflected in the car chrome
G c Splashing through the gutters and the sand
G c The birds move in the rafters hearing echoes of the laughter
G c From children in a playground close at hand
D bm And hands inside my pockets, staring at the light sockets
C d Everyone’s been blown out everyone’s been thrown out
I said baby baby baby baby baby
Repeat chorus
G c If i stay out all night test the midnight train’s headlights
G c Follow the tracks beyond sight to the bend
G c Now who’ve i got to let down, tell me somebody with their head down
G c d bm
Bargin’into solid ground in the end in the end, yeah in the end
C d Waitin for the end, arrive to the end, hey hey (guitar solo)
I said baby baby baby baby baby
G d em d c Watch the moon come down (three times)
G d em d c Yes i’m going to watch the moon come down
G d em d c Yeah i’m going to watch the moon come down like a midnight train uh huh
G c Uh uh i’m going to watch the moon come down watch it come down
G c Yes i’m going to watch the moon come down, like a midnight train (fade)
