"Moon Child" lyrics - TODD SNIDER

I'm a moon child
Have you understand
I'm not [old fail?], no
I'm a moonlight man
The days are uptight, you know
They're controlled by the law
Everybody's workin'
They just a-tryin' to get off

[Chorus:]
I'm like the moon, yeah
I'm hangin' out now
I'm high in the sky
Oh, I come with the night
And I'm gone in, I'm gone in the mornin' light

When the moon goes down
You know it hides somewhere
It's prob'ly got all
Of his goodies stashed there
He's takin his rest
Just gatherin' up some strength
You never know, you never know
What tomorrow night might bring

[Chorus:]
I'm like the moon, yeah
I'm a-hangin' out now
High in the sky
Oh, I come with the night
And I'm gone in, I'm gone in the mornin' light
Gone in the mornin' light

When it's dark outside
And there ain't no light
You got to give off
From your light inside
You give to me
Honey, I give it back to you
And that's the way we're gonna make it
The whole night through

[Chorus:]
I'm like the moon, yeah
Hangin' out now
High in the sky
Oh, I come with the night
And I'm gone in, I'm gone in the mornin' light
Gone in the mornin' light

[Outro:]
I'm a moon child
I'm a moon child
I'm a moon child
Yes I'm a moon child

I'm a moon
I'm a moon child
I'm a moon child, I'm a moon child
I'm a moon child
