Lyrics: John Prine. 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
