Moon Child

(album: Time As We Know It - The Songs Of Jerry Jeff Walker - 2012)

I'm a moon child
Have you understand
I'm not [?], no
I'm a moonlight man
The days are uptight, you know
They're controlled by the law
Everybody's working
They just a-trying to get off

I'm like the moon, yeah
I'm hanging out now
I'm high in the sky
Oh, I come with the night
And I'm gone in, I'm gone in the morning light

When the moon goes down
You know it hides somewhere
It's prob'ly got all
Of his goodies stashed there
He's takin his rest
Just gathering up some strength
You never know, you never know
What tomorrow night might bring

I'm like the moon, yeah
I'm a-hanging out now
High in the sky
Oh, I come with the night
And I'm gone in, I'm gone in the morning light
Gone in the morning light

When it's dark outside
And there ain't no light
You got to give off
From your light inside
You give to me
Honey, I give it back to you
And that's the way we're gonna make it
The whole night through

I'm like the moon, yeah
Hanging out now
High in the sky
Oh, I come with the night
And I'm gone in, I'm gone in the morning light
Gone in the morning light

I'm a moon child
I'm a moon child
I'm a moon child
Yes, I'm a moon child

I'm a moon
I'm a moon child
I'm a moon child, I'm a moon child
I'm a moon child
