"Shadow Of The Moon" lyrics - THE FLATLANDERS

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?lay
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
