Lyrics
I'm a moon child, have you understand
I'm not Orfeo, no, I'm the moonlight man
The days are uptight, you know, controlled by the law
And everybody's workin' just tryin' to get off
But I'm like the moon, yeah
I'm hangin' out now, high in the sky
I come with the night
I'm gone in the mornin' light
When the moon goes down, you know he hides somewhere
He's probably got all of his goods stashed there
He's takin' his rest, just a-gatherin' up some strength
You never know what tomorrow night might bring
Just like the moon, yeah
I'll be hangin' out now, high in the sky
I come with the night
Yeah, I'm gone in, I'm gone in the mornin' light
Yeah, it's dark outside, you know there ain't no light
But you got to give off with the light inside
You give to me, honey, and I'll give it back to you
That's the way we'll make it, yeah, the whole night through
Just like the moon, yeah
I'll be hangin' out there, so high in the sky
Yeah, I come with the night
Yeah, I'm gone in, I'm gone in the mornin' light
Just a moon child, have you understand
I'm not Orfeo, no, no, I'm the moonlight man
