You Hung The Moon - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

The homecoming fanfare is echoing still[00:00:01]

Now tapping on tables and sensing a chill[00:00:06]

Poor families expecting loved one's return[00:00:11]

Only summon some charlatan spectre[00:00:17]

Oh when will they learn[00:00:21]

You hung the moon[00:00:29]

From a gallows in the sky[00:00:34]

Choked out the light[00:00:39]

In his blue lunar eye[00:00:44]

The shore is a parchment[00:00:49]

The sea has no tide[00:00:54]

Since he was taken from my side[00:01:00]

The lines of the fallen are viewed through a glass[00:01:10]

You cannot touch them at all[00:01:15]

Or hear their footfall just as they go past[00:01:19]

The drunken ground is where they are bound[00:01:24]

You hung the moon[00:01:32]

From a gallows in the sky[00:01:36]

Choked out the light[00:01:42]

In his blue lunar eye[00:01:47]

The shore is a parchment[00:01:52]

The sea has no tide[00:01:57]

Since he was taken from my side[00:02:02]

So slap out his terrors[00:02:14]

And sneer at his tears[00:02:16]

We deal with deserters like this[00:02:18]

From the breech to the barrel the bead we will level[00:02:23]

Break earth with a shovel quick march on the double[00:02:27]

Lower him shallow like tallow down in the abyss[00:02:32]

You hung the moon[00:02:43]

From a gallows in the sky[00:02:48]

Choked out the light[00:02:55]

In his blue lunar eye[00:02:58]

The shore is a parchment[00:03:04]

The sea has no tide[00:03:09]

Since he was taken from my side[00:03:15]

Since he was taken from my side[00:03:26]

The homecoming fanfare is echoing still[00:03:39]
