Steve Earle - Halo Around the Moon lyrics

[Verse] There's a halo around the moon So I know it ain't to blame Because I knew what love could do But I loved her just the same Then I let her slip away Now I'm all alone and blue That's the price I got to pay There's a halo around the moon There's a ghost that haunts this town Just ask anyone you see He drags his chain around And no spell can set him free And he looks a lot like me And if you ask him why he's bound He'll just say he lost the key There's a ghost that haunts this town There's no shelter from the storm Without the lightning and the rain And love would hold no charm If it wasn't for the pain And it's always been that way No matter what you do No matter what you say There's a halo around the moon
