[Verse 1]
The homecoming fanfare is echoing still
Now tapping on tables
And sensing a chill
Poor families expecting loved one's return
Only summon some charlatan spectre
Oh, when will they learn?
[Chorus]
You hung the moon
From a gallows in the sky
Choked out the light
From his blue lunar eye
The shore is a parchment
The sea has no tide
Since he was taken from my side
[Verse 2]
The lines of the fallen are viewed through a glass
But you cannot touch them at all
Or hear their footfall just as they go past
The drunken ground is where they are bound
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
So slap out his terrors
And sneer at his tears
We deal with deserters like this
From the breech to the barrel, the bead we will level
Break earth with a shovel, quick march on the double
Lowe
[Chorus]
[Outro]
The homecoming fanfare is echoing still
You Hung the Moon was written by Elvis Costello.
You Hung the Moon was produced by T Bone Burnett.
Elvis Costello released You Hung the Moon on Mon Oct 25 2010.
