Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a house somewhere I know
Where the fire's burning all night long
There's a swing outside on the porch where I feel l could
Rock away the dusk till the dawn
[Verse 2]
And even though the wind may be now be howling
The stars are bright and they push me on and on
[Verse 3]
There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies
There's a cold wind blowing across the Great Divide
And the stars, they guide my way across the night
There's a half moon rising
Pushing me on over another mountain top
Push me on, no, I'll never stop, push me on
There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies tonight
[Verse 4]
Now the shoes on my feet, the soles are broken down
And my coat is tattered and worn
And the hunger in my belly, and the fever in my head
Will vanish at my first glimpse of home
[Verse 5]
And even though the rain may now be falling
The passion is deep and pushes me on
[Verse 6]
There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies
There's a cold wind blowing across the Great Divide
And the stars, they guide my way across the night
There's a half moon rising
Pushing me on over another mountain top
Push me on, no, I'll never stop, push me on
There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies tonight
[Verse 7]
There's a still at dawn like the sound of your love's breath
As she lies sleeping
Down below me now in the valley
Is the only peace on Earth that I ever want to know
[Verse 8]
And her lips are as soft as I remember
She alone has brought me back on home
[Verse 9]
There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies
There's a cold wind blowing across the Great Divide
And the stars, they guide my way across the night
There's a half moon rising
Pushing me on over another mountain top
Push me on, no, I'll never stop, push me on
There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies tonight
