Half Moon Rising Lyrics

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
& even though the wind may be howlin'
The stars are bright & they push me on & on

Chorus:
There's a half moon risin' in the south eastern skies
There's a cold wind blowing across the great divide
& 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
& my coat is tattered & worn
& the hunger in my belly, & the fever in my head
Will vanish 'ere my first glimpse of home
& even though the rain may now be fallin'
The passion is deep & pushes me on

(Chorus)

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
& her lips are as soft as I remember
She alone has brought me back on home

(Chorus)
