Moonshadow (Olympic Studio Demo / 1970) Lyrics

[Intro]
Yes, I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

[Verse 1]
And if I ever lose my eyes
Oh, if I lose my eyes
I won't have to cry
And if I ever lose my hands
Oh, if I lose my hands
I won't have to fight

[Chorus]
Yes, I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leapin' and hoppin' a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

[Verse 2]
And if I ever lose my mouth
Oh, if I lose my mouth
I won't have to talk
And if I ever lose my legs
Oh, if I lose my legs
I won't have to walk
Mm-hm, mm-mm-mm
[Bridge]
Did it take long to find me?
I asked the faithful light
Oh, did it take long to find me?
And is it gonna stay the night

[Chorus]
I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Racin' and chasin' that moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

[Verse 3]
And if I ever lose my mind
Oh, if I ever lose my mind
I won't have to think no more

[Outro]
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Racin' and chasin' that moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
