written by Warren Zevon 1989 Zevon Music BMI I was counting on you To stand by me To see me through I was counting on you They moved the moon While I looked down When I looked away They changed the stars around I'm so confused Don't know what to do Don't know which way to turn I was counting on you They moved the moon While I looked down When I looked away They changed the stars around Can't you see me? Can't you hear me now? Don't you want a love that's true? Don't you know my heart belongs to you? I was counting on you To stand by me To see me through I was counting on you They moved the moon While I looked down When I looked away They changed the stars around They moved the moon I feel so strange While I looked down Everything I depended on When I looked away Has been rearranged They changed the stars around
