Written by Darden Smith / James House Darden Smith Music (ASCAP) / Notorious Women / Double Delta Music (BMI) HOME FOREVER YOU CAN SEE THE MOON My god it’s good to see you She walks down to the river Can you see the moon I’ve been out here for so long Says Lord, help me out of this mess Shining down across your room Wandering around I got 750 dollars Does that light From town to town And it’s time for a new address Keep you up at night Trying to find my way back home Someplace a little safer The way it used to do I followed crazy directions Far from all his craziness If you’re awake right now I turned left, I turned right, I turned wrong Cause you know sometimes forever’s Can you see the moon Here I stand just a little too long Another well traveled man I say it’s a little too long If you made a wish Trying to find where I belong On a moonlit night like this She says, eighteen when we married Would it be I know, I know there’s a place I meant every single word I said That you and me I know there’s a face for me Forgive me Lord for leaving Could be together soon But how far must I go And taking that gun out from underneath I’d love to know Down a crooked road to be our bed And can you see the moon Home I’d throw it in the water But that man’s got the devil all up inside I’ve been tossing, turning, thinking ‘bout I’m haunted by my choices of his head you Voices telling me I was wrong And you know sometimes forever’s All night I’ve been burning wondering if Where some might put down roots just a little too long you Well I just put on my boots I say it’s a little too long Feel like I do And when out looking for home Don’t you know that sometimes forever’s just a little too long Can you see the moon I know, well I know there’s a place I say it’s a little too long Shining down to cover you And I know there’s a face for me Love ain’t supposed to hurt so much Imagine this But how far must I go And the days aren’t meant to drag on and Is just a kiss Down a crooked road to be on To last the whole night through Home And if I didn’t care about what tomorrow And dream baby dream might bring Yes dream baby dream What’s that, I couldn’t hear you Then I wouldn’t be gone And tell me Tell me once again, but say it slow I wouldn’t be gone Can you see the moon You’re just like me Can you see the moon You’ll always be But you know that sometimes forever’s Looking for home just a little too long Well come on let’s walk together I say it’s a little too long Written by Darden Smith It don’t make no sense to be out alone Darden Smith Music (ASCAP) I’ll look for you She wades out in the water You can search for me too To wash away her sins Together we’ll make it home She don’t care about tomorrow She just gone, she never coming back Singing la, la, la, la…. again
