The Flatlanders - Shadow Of The Moon lyrics

Oh it may take a lifetime darling, or it may take a day When our crossroads will come together The stars will shine, and the band will play When I cross your lifeline darling We'll sing a happy tune The river will roll and turn to gold In the shadow of the moon Well no man alive can ever survive The fortunes of the night Unless his heart has crossed that river That separates the dark and the light But it ain't no use in reminding them darling Some folks just can't hear But someday the faces and the forms of the fools Will fade and disappear Well it may take a lifetime darling, or it may take a day When our crossroads will come together The stars will shine, and the band will play When I cross your lifeline darling We'll sing a happy tune The river will roll and turn to gold In the shadow of the moon Well sometimes it's clear and sometimes it's muddy And sometimes a river is dry Sometimes the dirty dust clouds roll And the cover of clear blue sky Cause there ain't no use in rain making darling In a sunny afternoon It's better just to rest and look for the rest In the shadow of the moon Well it may take a lifetime darling, or it may take a day When our crossroads will come together The stars will shine, and the band will ṗlay When I cross your lifeline darling We'll sing a happy tune The river will roll and turn to gold In the shadow of the moon
