Half Moon Rising

There's a house somewhere I know where's the fire's burning all night long

There's a swing outside on the porch where I feel like I'll

Rock away the dusk until the dawn

And even though the wind may be howlin'

The stars are bright and they push me on and on

There's a half moon risin' in the south eastern skies

There's a cold wind blowing across the great divide

And the stars they guide my way across the night

There's a half moon rising

It's pushin' me on to another mountain top

Push me on, no no I'll never stop, push me on home

There's a half moon rising in the south eastern skies tonight

Now the shoes on my feet, those soles broken down

And my coat is tattered and worn

And the hunger in my belly, and the fever in my head

Will vanish 'ere my first glimpse of home

And even though the rain may now be fallin'

The passion is deep and pushes me on

There's a half moon risin' in the south eastern skies

There's a cold wind blowing across the great divide

And the stars they guide my way across the night

There's a half moon rising

It's pushin' me on to another mountain top

Push me on, no no I'll never stop, push me on home

There's a half moon rising in the south eastern skies tonight

There's a still at dawn like the sound of your loves breath

As she lies sleeping

Down below me now in the valley

Is the only piece on earth that I ever want to know

And her lips are as soft as I remember

She alone has brought me back on home

There's a half moon risin' in the south eastern skies

There's a cold wind blowing across the great divide

And the stars they guide my way across the night

There's a half moon rising

It's pushin' me on to another mountain top

Push me on, no no I'll never stop, push me on home

There's a half moon rising in the south eastern skies tonight
