I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

And if I ever lose my hand
Lose my plough, lose my land
Oh, if I ever lose my hand, oh, if
I wont have to work no more

And if I ever lose my eyes
If my colours all run dry
And if I ever lose my eyes, oh
I won't have to cry no more

Yes, I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leaping and hopping on a moonshadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

And if I ever lose my legs
I won't moan and I won't beg
Oh, if I ever lose my legs, oh, if
I won't have to walk no more

And if I ever lose my mouth
All my teeth, north and south
Yes, if I ever lose my mouth, oh, if
I won't have to talk

Did it take long to find me?
I ask the faithful light
Oh, did it take long to find me?
And are you going to stay the night?

I'm being followed by a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow

Moon shadow, moon shadow
Moon shadow, moon shadow
