Lyrics Clocks and Spoons - John Prine

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
