Banjo Moon
Greg Brown

There was someone that I used to knownshe was a personal friend of minenwe were lovers long agonback in the traveling timesnand I happened to pass through her townnI thought I'd call her on the phonenso we could talk about what we'd foundnshe said, hey, please just leave me alonennOh, and InI don't knowneverywhere I gonsorrow is as thin as an electric mandolinnand the moon is as round as a banjonnI guess he took it pretty hardnhe just kept drinking all through the nightnwe walked along by the old church yardnin the bloodshot morning lightnHe said, I was always afraid she'd go awaynI've been expecting it for yearsnand as I looked at the cold blue baynit looked like my friend's eyes all full of tearsnnOh, and InI don't knowneverywhere I gonsorrow is as thin as an electric mandolinnand the moon is as round as a banjonnOh, grandmother has seen such griefnthat when she laughs we all go crazynshe says that it is her beliefnthat us youngsters get too lazynwe give up on love so fastnand we scatter out so wide and so farnwe dream of no future and we love no pastngrandma don't know where all her great grandchildren arennOh, and InI don't knowneverywhere I gonsorrow is as thin as an electric mandolinnand the moon is as round as a banjonnThere's so many of my friendsnand I bet there's some of yours toonwho find themselves at such loose endsnall grown up and nothing to donjust trying to make a little doughnand help eachother through the darknI hope they find a way to gonI pray they will not lose their sparknnOh, and InI don't knowneverywhere I gonsorrow is as thin as an electric mandolinnand the moon is as round as a banjonnI'd like to meet you someplacenbesides a tavern or a stationnwhere we could look at eachother's facenin a little better situationnwe could have some supper and a talknplay that music that we lovenand we could take a country walknunder the holy stars abovennOh, and InI don't knowneverywhere I gonsorrow is as thin as an electric mandolinnand the moon is as round as a banjo
