Grinning Moon Lyrics — Bruce Cockburn

Mmm
Mmm hmm
Mmm
La da da da
Da da da da

There was a grinning moon
There was the clash of blades
There was a chemical stench
Blowing up the hill

There was the ghost of a porch light
There was blood on the glass
There was a hole in the eye
Where the light was spilled

Mmm
Mmm hmm
Mmm
La da da da
Da da da da

There were hanging stars
There were dark shapes running
The ashes of the dead
Went floating past the mill

There was an empty road
There was a long chance
There was a far-off trumpet
When the wind was still

Mmm
Mmm hmm
Mmm da da
La da da da
Da da da da
Mmm da da
Mmm hmm
Da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da
