Moonshadow Lyrics
[Chorus]
Yes I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
[Verse 1]
And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plough, lose my land
Oh if I ever lose my hands
Oh i...if, I won't have to work no more
[Verse 2]
And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colours all run dry
Yes if I ever lose my eyes
Oh i...if, I won't have to cry no more
[Chorus]
Yes I am bein' followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
[Verse 3]
And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan, and I won't beg
Oh if I ever lose my legs
Oh i...if, I won't have to walk no more
[Verse 4]
And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, north and south
Yes if I ever lose my mouth
Oh i...if, I won't have to talk...
[Bridge]
Did it take long to find me?
I asked the faithful light
Oh did it take long to find me
And are you gonna stay the night?
[Chorus]
I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
[Outro]
Moonshadow, moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow
