  • Here far away
    One could feel the earth vibrate
    Moon changing shape and shade
    As we all do under its gaze
    Yellow moon on the rise
    Yellow moon on the rise

    Round we go, where we stop no one knows
    So tonight the moon I go
    Yellow moon on the rise

    An echo that rings a bullet unchained
    One life, one grave joins the parade

    At night the sky grows dark with fallen stars
    Who comes so far a headstone and grave
    The colors turns grey, the black and white fades

    Yellow Moon on the rise
    Yellow Moon on the rise

    Yellow Moon on the rise
    Yellow Moon on the rise Writer/s: EDDIE JEROME VEDDER, JEFFREY ALLEN AMENT

  • Robert from Bellaire, TexasThe song's title is a reference to the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young song "Helpless", where Neil Young sings "Blue, blue windows behind the stars, yellow moon on the rise". Pearl Jam and Neil Young have history together, including collaborations on the Neil Young LP "Mirror Ball" and the Pearl Jam EP "Merkinball".
