  • I walked her to the plane in Phoenix
    I said: "Say hello to your mama."
    She couldn't even look me in the eye
    I drove out to the desert
    Just like nothing happened
    But somewhere in the darkness
    I heard her say goodbye

    [Chorus]
    Now I hear voices in the wind
    Sayin she ain't comin back to me
    I look for guidance in the sky
    But the stars have all gone out tonight
    I feel like the love of my life is dying
    Even the man in the moon is crying

    I'm burnin up this blacktop
    Headin down to Austin
    I wonder if she misses me tonight
    I wish that I could tell her
    How much I love her
    And I wish this damned ol' Thunderbird could fly

    Now I hear voices in the wind
    Sayin she ain't comin back to me
    I look for guidance in the sky
    But the stars have all gone out tonight
    I feel like the love of my life is dying
    Even the man in the moon is crying

    Now I hear voices in the wind
    Sayin she ain't coming back to me
    I look for guidance in the sky
    But the stars have all gone out tonight
    I feel like the love of my life is dying
    Even the man in the moon is crying

    Even the man in the moon is crying
    Even the man in the moon is crying
    Even the man in the moon is crying Writer/s: COLLIE, COOK
