Oldfield, Mike - Moonshine Lyrics






Walking out on a stormy day
The cold wind the fine sea spray
Looking out over Galway bay
The troubled sky all dark and grey
Far from these shores there stands liberty
So let it be
But every while I would remember

The day we drank moonshine in the rain
And raised our glasses to the wind
The day that we dreamed we could be free
Riding the wings of liberty
So here's one more for our friends
And here's one for our children
Feeling the cold rain on our fingertips
And moonshine on our lips

So we paid our dues and we packed our bags
Made it thought Ellis Island's ranks
Across the waves to America
Hearts and souls to the streets and starts
Far from our shores we found liberty
So let it be
But every while I would remember

The day we drank moonshine in the rain
And raised our glasses to the wind
The day that we dreamed we could be free
Riding the wings of liberty
So here's one more for our friends
And here's one for our children
Feeling the cold rain on our fingertips
And moonshine on our lips

So we made our way
Through the Cumberland gap
Appalachia never looking back
Through the wind and rain
But nothing evermore would feel the same

All of this life we strive to be free
So let it be
But every while I would remember

The day we drank moonshine in the rain
And raised our glasses to the wind
The day that we dreamed we could be free
Riding the wings of liberty
So here's one more for our friends
And here's one for our children
Feeling the cold rain on our fingertips
And moonshine on our lips

Moonshine in the rain
And raised our glasses to the wind
The day that we dreamed we could be free
Riding the wings of liberty
So here's one for our friends
And here's one our children
Feeling the cold rain on your fingertips
And moonshine on our lips

  37. S.... y....

    Super duo, more music like this please.

  38. M.... A....

    Oldfield is a master musician and composer and I thought Spiller was a great choice for the vocals. I loved this album. Both the vocal and instrumental (deluxe version) are great. Then he topped this album with the Return to Ommadawn album!? Oldfield just gets better and better - let's hope he doesn't retire. Thanks Mike!

  39. G.... R....

    Very, very nice. Beautiful song ..

  40. A.... d....

    It was a great album. Too bad so many people didn't like it.

  44. R.... R....

    Damn… sad that it is over. I guess I really should be really working on some of my own songs, although the problem is there is replay button. :-/ 💝💔

  45. E.... P....

    La classe ineguagliabile di Mike, unita ad una delle migliori voci degli ultimi anni, Luke Spiller. Brano meraviglioso!

  46. T.... ....

    I absolutely believe the three songs....Moonshine , Man on the Rocks, and Sailing are close to the best if not the best I've ever heard.  thank you Luke and Mike.

    T.... ....

    Minutes is so good

    Your music always makes me happy! Thank you Mike!

  65. D.... S....

    The singer, Luke Spiller I think is his name, seems to be able to pull of a Freddy Mercury look in some 3-5 years.

  66. K.... S....

    In Tropics this music. In England Incantations and Platinum. Mike, come back home!

  71. A.... w....

    Who has heard Mike Oldfields latest album "Return to Ommadawn" ?

  72. l.... ....

    It's a great song an also album (a big fan from Sweden), but I can miss the instrument's showing in there.. Where are the drums and so on in the video..(they are quite much needed for he pace, and the rythm of the song)?

  73. j.... d....

    mike oldfield je mág na vše co má noty.jsem vždy pohodě..jsem rád že jsou takový muzikanti.

  74. m.... s....

    I love Mike Oldfield

  75. a.... k....

    Beautiful... i feel it 🤘🏻🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  76. M.... L....

    He sings like a young Freddie Mercury, if more quietly; a mentor I suspect. Cheers, one.

  77. I.... K....

    Wer ist der süsse kerl? - neben Mike? Sieht fast aus wie der Sohnemann von Freddy Mercury.

  78. M.... O....

    Toujours aussi fan!
    Cette chanson est une de mes préférées!

  79. I.... G....

    But Maggie is not substude

  80. D.... O....

    Прекрасно!

  81. A.... w....

    In early 2017 Mike Oldfield has released a new album called "Return to Ommadawn". It is not very similar to the original "Ommadawn" album but I like it plenty.

  82. j.... w....

    who,s the singer looks like a young freddy mercury

  83. S.... R....

    incredible song mike!! the solo guitar makes me happy!

  84. M.... O....

    Je pense que c'est ma chanson préférée de Mike....cette musique celtique est prenante!

  85. R.... C....

    какой же он стареньким дедушкой стал. Великий мужик

  86. j.... h....

    Don't know who the fella is on the vocals.but he looks like a young Freddie Mercury to me.

  87. r.... ....

    Who's the KID! No info in notes!!!

  88. G.... W....

    Me hace recordar un poco, en el estilo de la voz y algunos toques instrumentales, a pink floyd :O

  89. M.... L....

    is this a Lacoste commercial?

  90. L.... F....

    Che nettare!

  91. M.... O....

    Que ça fait du bien d'y revenir de temps en temps...musique et paroles....!!!
