Lyrics

I’m being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow – moon shadow

Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow
Moon shadow – moon shadow

And if I ever lose my hands
Lose my plough, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hands
Oh, if…
I won’t have to work no more

And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colours all run dry
Yes, if I ever lose my eyes
Oh if …
I won’t have to cry no more

Yes, I’m being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow – moon shadow

Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow
Moon shadow – moon shadow

And if I ever lose my legs
I won’t moan and I won’t beg
Oh if I ever lose my legs
Oh if…
I won’t have to walk no more

And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth
Oh if…
I won’t have to talk…

Did it take long to find me
I ask the faithful light
Ooh did it take long to find me
And are you going to stay the night
I’m being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow – moon shadow

Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow
Moon shadow – moon shadow
Moon shadow – moon shadow
Moon shadow – moon shadow
