Harpers Ferry Moon Songtext
von John R. Miller

After the wine was gone
and the Lord saw that it was good
And I misplaced my horizon like you said I would
Whatever you needed wasn′t mine to give
Wasn't much there for two hungry people to live

Harpers Ferry Moon
Never knew what was goin′ wrong
You were outta the gate too soon
Loved the sound, but you hated the song
Harpers Ferry Moon
I never wanted to belong and neither did you
I think that's why we got along
I think that's why we got along


Up upon Maryland Heights,
down on the rocks and malt liquorin′
Above the railroad bridge at night,
old shadows flickerin′
There was blood before our time
and there'll be blood to come
Some day may we float on back down
to where we came from

Harpers Ferry Moon
Never knew what was goin′ wrong
You were outta the gate too soon
Loved the sound, but you hated the song
Harpers Ferry Moon
I never wanted to belong and neither did you
I think that's why we got along
I think that′s why we got along

Now there's split tongues above you,
most things ain′t built for lastin'
Were you starved for love or were you fastin'?
And there′s nothin′ much more that you liked
than an old analog motel
If you're exitin′ the turnpike,
I guess it's just as well


Harpers Ferry Moon
Never knew what was goin′ wrong
You were outta the gate too soon
Loved the sound, but you hated the song
Harpers Ferry Moon
I never wanted to belong, neither did you
I think that's why we got along
I think that′s why we got along
