humbird - pink moon for john prine lyrics

patience is a spell to cast
mine never seems to last
longer than a midwest sunset
wrapping around the city
i’m walking through a purple dusk
trying to clear the cobwebs and the dust
of my own mind
god, i must have slipped into a slow rust

but the pink moon rise into the east
today i was not as kind as i set out to be
the pink moon, the bats went down to ??
i’m so busy doing nothing watching days melt into weeks

a friend is on the other line
she called to talk, instead we cried
the pandemic hit and her father died
says the grеatest gift she got was time
it’s so hard to brеath with a tight chest
well, gratitude makes dinner taste the best
i’m making new meals out of leftover food
so i can sit at the table and stare at you

the pink moon there beneath the trees
now you’re running like a mad man to where the land and blue sky meet
that pink moon is split like a melon
it’s sticky on my lips like secrets ripe for tellin’
tomorrow i will try again
to not break in two, but simply bend
with the wind and the rain and the dancing stars
distant suns lighting up the dark
i suppose that’s all anyone can do
and if you promise me, i’ll promise you
the rebel and the beauty can howl like fool
raise my cup to the big pink moon for you
