Cat Stevens - Moonshadow Lyrics






Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if... I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if... I won't have to cry no more.

Yes I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes 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 asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?

I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Leapin' and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow
Moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

    my sister died 10 years ago of brain cancer on Christmas, and this song was her favorite song and it just brings back all the memories.💕

  2. E.... B....

    Moonshadow is an eclipse of the sun.

  3. S.... H....

    im 13 years old and my grandfather introduced me to the world of cat stevens i CAN'T BELIEVE ANYONE COULD LIVE WITHOUT GREAT MUSIC LIKE THIS!!👍👍

  4. H.... T....

    This would be a great song to end a movie

  5. A.... V....

    Beautiful song, too.

  6. B.... A....

    my dog's name is Moonshadow. I want take a roll of pennies 50 cents into a bank and ask for quarters. Then I want to ask the banker person if that'll buy my dog some food. And just CRY.

    B.... A....

    I am mostly blind, with no teeth, & a bum leg. BTW. this internet stuff is interesting but most of it just makes me sad.

  7. J.... D....

    What a beautiful body of work Cat Stevens has given us ❤️

  8. p.... ....

    Here from Beware the Moon / American Werewolf in London Blu-ray extras.

  9. C.... L....

    Wahahahaha it's just a song about moon shadow. Who cares about moon shadow 😆Plus it doesn't like a moon to me 😆

  10. A.... F....

    i farted

  11. n.... f....

    Please come back Cat Stevens PLEASE! We need a peace train.

    n.... f....

    Just booked for his Irish concert, i was huge fan in 70s as 8/9 yr old . Now average 8/9 yr old call bubble gum groups music

  12. M.... H....

    Cats Steven is bad ass

  13. E.... M....

    So very beautiful...

  14. S.... L....

    I didn´t hear that since 2009... And now, after 10 years, it is in my youtube recommendations! It always make me cry....

    S.... L....

    That's beautiful. Thanks for telling us :-)

  15. T.... O....

    Anyone else here because of airwolf?

  16. K.... N....

    I remember my high school art teachers playing this song during class. Brings back wonderful memories of my favorite teachers I’ve ever had ❤️

  17. D.... B....

    I'm here because of Shadow Moon, the main character in American Gods.

  18. I.... _....

    The reason I listen to this song is because at my granparents camp they song this.

  19. r.... m....

    No eyes but would still cry and not even have eyes 😭 i did not miss the point of the song but the thought of that is so fucking sad

  20. i.... z....

    this song was sung at natures classroom

  21. S.... A....

    My mom would play this in the car when i was young. It takes me straight back.

  22. A.... d....

    Why is everyone suddenly here from casting moonshadows
    I mean like not gonna lie I am too lol but last year when I came here I saw ten times less comments

  23. T.... H....

    This song was written for someone with Multiple Sclerosis years ago

  24. A.... B....

    Yes, Dear Season 3 Episode 1 brought me here with Greg singing. Anyone else?

  25. H.... H....

    I came here because John Landis attempted in 1981to get Cat Stevens to allow him to use this song in An American Werewolf in London (all the classic hits Landis used in the movie have the word "moon" in the title), but Stevens turned him down flat. Seems Cat actually believed that werewolves were real, see, and was apparently concerned that using his song in such a movie might...attract werewolves. Or something. Yeah.
    🙄😕🤔😑

    H.... H....

    There is no proof that they don't exist!

    H.... H....

    @Repair Department Yeah, but it'd be a stretch to figure they're also attracted by moon songs. Just sayin'...

  26. R.... C....

    The perfect tune for us guys at The Lawrenceville School, NJ from 1973 to 1976!  I flew 3,000 miles east to get the hell away from Redwood High School in Marin Co., CA.  This tune helped me through what was a great 3 years in "The Garden State"!  Thanks to my Parents ........ from Cav.  *

  27. U.... ....

    Love this...

  28. J.... K....

    Beautiful song!!! So good I named my band Tillerman! https://open.spotify.com/track/3P5XnTLyhVhCun2qgSGQ8I?si=d4_xxXTRSSeU53h9gwcMWA

  29. A.... G....

    My dad sent this to me when he was told his cancer had metastasized.

  30. C.... O....

    I was born 1996 and I am so thankful my parents made me listen to this type of music. The first CD i bought for my first car was Cat Stevens and I had friends that asked me "Who the hell is Cat Stevens" well they don't even know what they are missing

  31. R.... K....

    I've been listening to this song for about 35 years.

    R.... K....

    Rose Breen a unique voice and very very sadly missed 😧😧😧

    R.... K....

    What, non stop?.

  32. f.... ....

    who are the 125 cunts who disliked this? assholes!

  33. J.... B....

    Sounds like Bob le Bricoleur! good song

  34. E.... E....

    I used to sing this song in my performances at school... I moved and grew up now and I kind of wanna cry

  35. R.... J....

    It’s been said before...I’ll say it again...


    Casting Moonshadows.

  36. B.... D....

    cool..moon. ..

  37. M.... G....

    Amo esta música

  38. R.... D....

    Cat...a brillant career tossed in the garbage fir islam...dumbass!!

    R.... D....

    ey , repy guyI'm happy for you that you left islam, but you see, in America people have something called Freedom of Speech. Good luck to you!

    R.... D....

    @Roman Darien yes ..❤ your message received ...right I am happy that I left that (bad ,damaging bloody ideology) I greet you my friend and I advice you to not hate anyone,hate is more worse than islam..🙏

    R.... D....

    @Roman Darien you are allowed to say what ever you want but as you human being ,person...try to love ..

    R.... D....

    @مذكرات رجل I

    R.... D....

    I don't hate anybody. I agree we should try to seek the best in others

  39. A.... K....

    My dad died from cancer 7-10-19, among my last memories of my mother (also stricken with cancer) before she passed 27 days later....when she was still cognizant of the things around her, was our singing this together. Life has so many flavors of pain, and is truly a motherfucker.

    A.... K....

    Anthony Kaitis i cant imagine what you went through, and although it’s been a while, i promise it gets better. i hope you’re having a lovely day, if you’re seeing this :)

  40. p.... ....

    We are all followed by a moon shadow, sooner or later it will cast its shadow. Not the happiest news but it is reality and the things to follow will be. An epiphany to all mortals.

  41. C.... C....

    Beautiful song 💘

  42. H.... ....

    Oh, I’m being followed by a jihadi
    Jihadi, jihadi
    Yes, I’m being followed by a jihadi
    Jihadi, jihadi
    And if I ever lose my head
    Then I guess I’ll end up dead
    But if I’m ever burned alive,
    Then hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
    Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
    Give my mullah high five

    Cause I’m being tutored by a mad mullah
    Mad mullah, mad mullah
    He said that I should smash a big Buddha
    A big statue of Buddha
    And if I see an infidel
    Then I know he’ll go to hell
    And if I have to send him there
    Then hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
    Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey
    No one I know will care.

  43. S.... U....

    blessed🍃☝

  44. S.... U....

    Missing my father... I hope he's doing fine this Eid...🍃

  45. E.... E....

    Like many others in the comment section, I can’t listen to this song without crying. It reminds me so much of my father, since it was and is his favorite song

  46. y.... m....

    Jennifer Wintz and happy moon landing anniversary!

  53. A.... K....

    Love This SONG..♥️✌

  54. S.... M....

    Oh really do it. I'll see how fuck u'll do? Mother fuckin son bustard fuckin bitchs till now can't imagine what can I do?

  55. x.... y....

    Cat Stevens before religion got to him. Brilliant!

    x.... y....

    @x yz: With all coming out now, was it really religion that got him? Yes, a big recording star back then, right?  Listen to it again.  Could he have been asking for help to get out of what he unwittingly got into? I recall he made some accusations. Was he not arrested returning from Europe shortly afterwards? But, 'Nothing to see here'. The rabbit hole has always been DEEP.

    x.... y....

    If you listen to his music, there is no hate found. All his music had an undercurrent of peace and love. No specific religion is mentioned. But I believe he was always a spiritual being looking for answers like George Harrison was...and he finally found his in Islam. No harm. Just peace and love for his fellow man. That is the true teaching of Islam. Not the perversion some have made of it.

    x.... y....

    Randy Stewart Grew up listening to Cat when he was a positive force in the world and before Evil took him to the dark side. Wishing and calling for the Death of Rushdie for insulting the false prophet Muhammad is hardly the Cat Stevens that produced Moon Shadow, or Morning Has Broken, or Peace Train.
    Cat embraced one of the darkest satanic religions ever, and yes it is unbelieveable he should do such a thing.

  56. D.... P....

    I’m so glad my parents played this when I was little

    D.... P....

    Me three, it simply made my outlook on life

  57. H.... ....

    Why is there so many people copying other people comments?
