The Shepherd And The Moon

Do you know the story

Of the shepherd who'd turn

And took the river moon in his arms

Listen to the story

Mainly if you cannot read

Of the man who loved the woman

You can tuck it up 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 hide

Do you know the story

Of the shepherd who'd turn

And took the river moon in his arms

Listen to the story

Mainly if you cannot read

Of the man who loved the woman

Woman was a sting in the thorn

You will get the moon for the horn

You'll try to catch it and you'll drown

Of the moon you were much too full

Nowadays... people of the mountains say:

"That the Gods put the moon high up in the sky

So that the men might not be tempted to steal it"

Do you know the story

Of the shepherd who'd turn

And took the river moon in his arms

Listen to the story

Mainly if you cannot read

Of the man who loved the woman

Round in the depths of your mind

For today the moon is too high

Shepherd tried to catch a sunrise

You might be more lucky if you try

Do you know the story

Of the shepherd who'd turn

And took the river moon in his arms

Listen to the story

Mainly if you cannot read

Of the man who loved the woman

La, la, la, la...
