Shadow Of The Moon Lyrics by The Flatlanders

The Odessa Tapes

0

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
