Moody Blues, The - Under Moonshine Lyrics






The dawn crept into by room
And stole my dream
Now I'll never know
Just what it means
Or what could have been
Yet still I try to lie
But I'm seen

Under moonshine that's where I've been
Under moonshine I'm clearly seen
Under moonshine that's where I've been
Under moonshine I'm clearly seen

Creator of dreams that melt with the sun
I'll send you the things this man has done
He was a saint and a sinner rolled in one
But I miss now that he's gone
I sure miss him now that he's gone

Sure I feel the pain
Deep inside I pour like rain
Remember when you smile
Love's in your eyes

The world keeps turning
The grass still grows green
The fruit on my tree
Is the biggest you've ever seen
Which way up you know when you're down
They've gotta stand tall
With your feet on the ground
You must stand tall
With your feet on the ground

Or maybe I'm crazy
Also they say I'm lazy
But I'll have my days
When I do as I please
For you won't see the woods
While you're a tree
No you'll never see the woods
While you're a tree

Yes I'm crazy
Also they say I'm lazy
But I'll have my days
When I do as I please
You won't see the woods
While you're a tree
No you'll never see the woods
While you're a tree

    The Moody Blues

    The dawn crept into by room
    And stole my dream
    Now I'll never know
    Just what it means
    Or what could have been
    Yet still I try to lie
    But I'm seen

    Under moonshine that's where I've been
    Under moonshine I'm clearly seen
    Under moonshine that's where I've been
    Under moonshine I'm clearly seen

    Creator of dreams that melt with the sun
    I'll send you the things this man has done
    He was a saint and a sinner rolled in one
    But I miss him now that he's gone I said
    I sure miss him now that he's gone

    Sure I feel the pain
    Deep inside I pour like rain
    Remember when you smile
    Love's in your eyes

    The world keeps turning
    The grass still grows green
    The fruit on my tree
    Is the biggest you've seen
    But which ways up you know when you're down
    They've gotta stand tall
    With your feet on the ground
    You must stand tall
    With your feet on the ground

    Or maybe I'm crazy
    But also so they say I'm lazy
    But I have my days
    When I do as I please
    For you won't see the woods
    While you're a tree
    No you'll never see the woods
    While you're a tree

    Yes I'm crazy
    But also they say I'm lazy
    But l have my days
    When I do as I please
    You won't see the woods
    While you're a tree
    No you'll never see the woods
    While you're a tree

    This album cover freaks me out now. Made years ago, but kind of sadly prophetic. THey're all going into the light, and Ray is the only one looking back, almost like saying, "You guys can't follow, it's my time first." Too wierd. R.I.P Ray...you made it! You're in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame ... too bad it came to late for you to know it. :-(

    Its Graham looking back. Ray is the taller guy with lettering on his jacket. If you have the album, the centerfold clearly shows Graham. No need to think about a message.

    Beautiful song and Ray, what a voice...
