Lyrics
Moon Creek
We used to sit on Harper Bridge
Fished at Moon Creek till we had enough
Run em' home just across the ridge
Loved the braggin' 'bout it just as much
The waters gone now
The town's packed up and moved on
And all the hearts have flown away
So far away
Moon Creek once flowed into Silver River
And like all those hearts before
We would lay back and dream of forever
Now we don't dream together anymore
REPEAT CHORUS
Now I'm the last to go
And the only water to flow
Are salty tears down my weathered face
Moon Creek once flowed into Silver River
I wait for it to carry me home
From where I lie I can dream forever
As cold earth kisses my weary bones
Moon Creek once flowed into Silver River
Moon Creek once flowed into Silver River
Moon Creek once flowed into Silver River
