Halfmoon Road

from SHE by Darryl Gregory

/

about

A story that tries to evoke that time before everything changes in the lives of young people. Right before they go of to college - start a new life - bu they still try to have happiness in the moment. But sometimes that happiness is sadness clothed in desire.

lyrics

I can see the mermaids
Dancing on the waves of that lake
This Ohio sun plays tricks
In this hot summer haze
I'm sweating on these vinyl seats
Of this broken down old Ford
And I'm thinking of a girl I used to know
On Half Moon Road
Half Moon Road

She lived down at her Mama's house
Just past the Dairy Queen
She had no time to fall in love
She was making plans to leave
She said, Boy, if it's gonna be anyone
It may as well be you
But be ready for some heartbreak when you go
Down Half Moon Road
Half Moon Road

She had plans and dreams
And midnight schemes
But none that had my name
Driving fast
I thought it would last
But she got tired of playing the game

And we
Never talked about it
No she
Never told me where she might go
No we
Never talked about it
And the dust flew from my tires as I drove
Down Half Moon Road
Half Moon Road

I can hear the mermaids
Singing songs to my soul
Laughing at the fool I am
They whisper just let it go
I hang a left at that Dairy Queen
Heading back to New York
And I'll leave behind that girl I used to know
On Half-Moon Road

Take a little Mellencamp, throw in some Cash, stir with a dash of Hiatt and flavor with Springsteen & Earle. Sounds Like Darryl Gregory. Heat-n-Eat! mmm good.
