Shine on me
Won't you shine on me harvest moon?
I've got my bags all packed
My ghosts are tied up in my sack
And I'm leaving here by the light of you
I was born to lose
Nothing has really ever changed
Now winter's moving in and my pockets are wearing thin
And lately my true love's been acting kind of strange
Chorus:
I've never had a job worth keeping
No I never had a dime to spare
You know that old trouble's been creeping up on my back stair
I always feel lonely
Even in the best of company
And if these old blues keep on haunting me
I guess I'll keep moving on
So shine your light
As I walk on down the line
I know there ain't much you can do
Just look on me as I pass through
And help me keep track of the time
I should have known this was coming
I could see the leaves start to turn brown
Every time the seasons change
I get an itching in my brain
And I pick up all the plans that I'd laid down
Chorus:
You look like you're smiling about something
If you've got a secret won't you let me in?
I've been walking along with a troubled mind
Feeling a little far behind
But I don't blame you for that old rain and wind
Won't you lift me up
Give me a drink from your loving cup
And when my feet touch the ground
I'll listen for that highway sound
No I don't think I'll ever get enough
Chorus:
Won't you shine on me harvest moon?
I've got my bags all packed
My ghosts are tied up in my sack
And I'm leaving here by the light of you
I was born to lose
Nothing has really ever changed
Now winter's moving in and my pockets are wearing thin
And lately my true love's been acting kind of strange
Chorus:
I've never had a job worth keeping
No I never had a dime to spare
You know that old trouble's been creeping up on my back stair
I always feel lonely

And if these old blues keep on haunting me
I guess I'll keep moving on
So shine your light
As I walk on down the line
I know there ain't much you can do
Just look on me as I pass through
And help me keep track of the time
I should have known this was coming
I could see the leaves start to turn brown
Every time the seasons change

And I pick up all the plans that I'd laid down
