Moonshadow

As sung by Cat Stevens

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 hands
lose my plough, lose my land
oh, if I ever lose my hands
oh, well...
I won’t have to work no more

and if I ever lose my eyes
If my colors all run dry
yes, if I ever lose my eyes
oh well …
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 moon shadow
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 well...
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 well...
I won't have to talk...

Did it take long to find me
I ask the faithful light
Ooh did it take long to find me
And are you going to stay the night
I'm being followed by a moon shadow


I have no idea why this song jumped into my head today. I like the idea of a faithful light following me. There's some security in that.

I also see a little relief in losing things as it is put in this song. It's almost like looking at the things I wouldn't have to do any more. I kind of feel like that right now. I don't have a job. I don't have to get up early any more. I can stay in bed as long as I want to and if I need a nap later in the day I can take one. I'm not hard pressed to do anything really. And yet.... I really do want a job. I feel kind of lost.
moon shadow - moon shadow
leaping and hopping on a moon shadow
moon shadow - moon shadow
moon shadow - moon shadow
moon shadow - moon shadow
