"Yellow Moon Rising" lyrics - RICHIE FURAY

See that Yellow Moon Rising high in the sky - there
Don't let it fool you now, oh no - it's just a feelin' but I
Don't want to find you lost, paying a heavy cost
For nothin' at all, it's a mighty long way to fall

There are angels in heaven, but some fell away
Don't let 'em fool you now, oh no - it's just a feelin' but I
Heard that from the garden they were thrown out and hardened
And as I recall it was a mighty long way to fall

You can bet on this life, but the stakes will be high
And talk all you want about heaven
But the moon in your eye, and those in disguise
Won't get you to paradise - oh no

Temptations are many, with hearts runnin' wild
Don't let 'em fool you now, oh no
It's not a feelin' but I
Crossed that line and lived a lie, suffered but did not die
Saved from it all, a mighty long way to fall

If you're fallin' fallin
Fallin'
If you're fallin'
Fallin
If you're fallin' fallin
Fallin'
