"Clocks & Spoons"

Clocks and spoons and 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



Runnin' through sky of blue, rollin' in the sun

Every day has a way of overflowing wine

Shoot the moon right between the eyes

I'm keeping most of me in sunny countryside



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"

Shoot the moon right between the eyes

I'm screaming, "Take me back to sunny countryside"



Clocks and spoons and empty rooms, it's raining out tonight
