Even the Man in the Moon Is Cryin'

Mark Collie


I walked her to the plane in Phoenix, 
I said: "Say hello to your mama."
She couldn't even look me in the eye.
I drove out to the desert,
Just like nothing happened,
But somewhere in the darkness,
I heard her say good bye.

Now I hear voices in the wind,
Sayin' she ain't coming back to me.
I look for guidance in the sky,
But the stars have all gone out tonight.
I feel like the love of my life is dying.
Even the man in the moon is crying.

I'm burning up this blacktop,
Headin' down to Austin.
I wonder if she misses me tonight.
I wish that I could tell her, 
How much I love her.
And I wish this damned ol' Thunderbird could fly. 

Now I hear voices in the wind,
Sayin' she ain't coming back to me.
I look for guidance in the sky,
But the stars have all gone out tonight.
I feel like the love of my life is dying.
Even the man in the moon is crying.

Instrumental break.

Now I hear voices in the wind,
Sayin' she ain't coming back to me.
I look for guidance in the sky,
But the stars have all gone out tonight.
I feel like the love of my life is dying.
Even the man in the moon is crying.

Even the man in the moon is crying.

Even the man in the moon is crying.

Even the man in the moon is crying.

To fade.
