Demis Roussos The Moon And I Lyrics

The Shepherd And The Moon

Do you know the story of the shepherd who [tried and] took the moon in his arms Listen to the story mainly if you can [agree] of the man who loved a woman You can take the [nap in your mind] you would like to catch the moonlight But you know the thing is not right For all of us have some secrets to fight

Do you know the story of the shepherd who [tried and] took the moon in his arms listen to the story mainly if you can [agree] of the man who loved a woman

[...] [us apart] you will get the moon from your heart you [...] [till you're dry] of the moon you were much too full
[interlude]

Nowadays people of the mountains say: "That the Gods put the moon high up in the sky so that the man might not be tempted to steal it"

Do you know the story of the shepherd who [tried and] took the moon in his arms listen to the story mainly if you can [agree] of the man who loved a woman

[...] of the mind for today the moon is too high shall we try to catch some sunrise [you may be more lucky if you try] Do you know the story of the shepherd who [tried and] took the moon in his arms listen to the story mainly if you can [agree] of the man who loved a woman

la, la la la ...
