Rafferty, Gerry - Moonlight And Gold Lyrics






Moonlight and gold
Midsummer magic when the night turns to day
And songbirds greet the dawn
You lie awake
You watch and wonder while the moon fades away
And one more day is born.

Tides keep on turning, while hearts keep on yearning
To be where they know they belong
All on a new day, you see in a new way
The things you've been leaning upon.

Moonlight and gold
I will awaken to a love that runs deeper
Than the need in me.

While you are sleeping, the new day comes creeping
And life keeps on passing you by
Magic unfolds when the blue meets the gold
And the sun comes to open your eyes.

Moonlight and gold
Midsummer magic when the night turns to day
And songbirds greet the dawn
You lie awake
You watch and wonder while the moon fades away
And one more day is born.

Oh yeah

Rafferty, Gerry Moonlight And Gold Comments

    Dieser Song zeigt einmal mehr seine einfühlsame Genialität. Gerry, unvergessen. RIP

  3. B.... V....

    Gerry Rafferty was no pop or rock star: he was a real arts & crafts man. I've never understood why people who were so enchanted bt solo output turned away to something newer and hipper, and did not got curious about whether he managed to maintain his high standards. Is double sad, because actually, yes, he managed to keep on delivering wonderful songs and lyrics.

  4. D.... V....

    prachtig

  5. S.... ....

    Class at its very best the man never failed to deliver shear briliance

    As awesome as his songs were (are), if only Gerry Rafferty took better care of himself. That drinking so much alcohol can do a number on one's body. It's a wonder he lived as long as he did.

    Reminds me of being young when my dad would get his gerry rafferty tapes out, and now im old and reminiscing. Just beautiful and music really does take you to a time and place more than anything else can do. Rip gerry your music is the backdrop to my childhood.

    C.... B....

    Craig Beale “Now I’m old” - ? If your dad listened to Gerry Rafferty in your childhood, how old can you possibly be?

    C.... B....

    I know what you mean Craig, I can listen to an old song and remember exactly what I was doing lol. How did we get old 😨

  41. C.... ....

    North and south was a great album. As all Gerry´s albums. I love "Shipyard town"!

    Gerry Rafferty never failed to deliver truly beautiful and meaningful songs - the lyrics, melodies, the vocal harmonies , EVERYTHING was perfect . He was unique and though he is no longer with us, his music will live on and be enjoyed for ever and ever .

    J.... C....

    You are so right! I have everything he ever wrote and performed. Even his earlier, obscure pieces. You can just hear him get better and better! No one could do a saxophone riff like Gerry, either, unless it was Raphael Ravenscroft....lol.

    J.... C....

    Well said 😊

  46. G.... C....

    Brilliance

  71. m.... b....

    Nice video ....I like ...thx ..

  72. S.... K....

    What a very ANGRY person with a big chip on your shoulder. Actually the name RAFFERTY IS IRISH. Gerrys father was Irish his mother IRISH SCOTS. The family always refer to themselves as IRISH and the present day SCOTs originally came over from IRELAND so learn a bit of your OWN HISTORY. Yes be proud of what you are but stop being so NEGATIVE. This music is laid back seventies when we just enjoyed being chilled and Gerry was the same enough of those NEGATIVE VIBES.BABY.

  73. B.... M....

    So beautiful. I hear this song in my dreams.

  74. M.... ....

    Great Job Mr hodgepig007 !!

  75. Q.... R....

    I DIDN'T KNOW THAT JERRY RAFFERTY HAS PASSED AWAY, I'M NOW CRYING... SAD... AND THEN AGAIN HAPPY BECAUSE HE IS IN HEAVEN WITH THE LORD WITH HIS TALENT... SINGING IN HEAVEN.

  76. B.... B....

    Brilliant song, Billiant video. Loved it:-)

  77. S.... T....

    Gerry is, was, and always will be a legend. Gone but never forgotten. RIP. Gerry dig down baby. . .

  78. S.... R....

    @borisVspider66 - firstly, the person that wrote the original comment has apologised so I am 'over it' and if you think Gerry didn't care about that stuff then you are seriously retarded. Only the english can be so arrogant that they think something like that is not offensive, call americans candadians or aussies kiwis & see how they react. I am not anally retentive & it's nothing to do with persecution through the years - get over yourself mate, you are the 1 making a mountain out of a molehill

    S.... R....

    Stuart Robertson that's why I was on the official Right down the line documentary & you wasn't you blob of turbulotic sputum. (just running through comments & rediscovered you Mr pilchard)

    S.... R....

    Stuart Robertson psych

  79. F.... Y....

    Yikes.. looks like I set off a shit-storm..sooo
    sorry, there,Stuzroz... I stand corrected. No offense intended.
    I Do, in fact, know the diff..
    Visited Scotland back in the early 90's.. lovely country.. Edinburgh
    is one of the GREATest cities I have ever seen.Have also been
    to Ireland & spent some time in rural England & London waay back
    when. Enjoyed that as well.

  80. B.... V....

    @StuzRoz yes mate ., important to YOU apparently cos I don't see anyone else berating a bloke for a mistake that no one else (including Gerry) gives a toss about! if the guy likes Gerry & his music then that's good enough - but there is always some anally retentive turd who wants to pick a feckin argument, OK the English persecuted Scots for century's, unfortunately I can't fix that... so get over it

  81. B.... V....

    @StuzRoz Kiss my arse.. Gerry wouldn't give a shit and u are correcting a triviality u dumb SNP dork.. you sir are a feckin Rab C Nesbit. Gerry was a true Scot & if u have nothing better to do than berate a Rafferty fan for a minor mistake over an irrelevance then I suggest u sod off, because this channel is about Gerry's music and not his feckin heritage you idiot!

  82. S.... R....

    borisVspider66 - kiss my ass, Gerry was SCOTTISH which is a big difference from English so I was just correcting someone on something quite important.

  83. B.... V....

    @StuzRoz (cont) having a go at the dick pretending to be GRs son in these comments! Gerry was a true scot & a true brit.

  84. S.... R....

    I am sure you didn't know any better but you just insulted Gerry and a lot of his fans by saying one of the best singers to ever come out of England. He (and myself and a HUGE amount of his fans) is from SCOTLAND, please know the difference. A lot of his songs are about living in England but being from Scotland (Garden of England & City to City for example) England is NOT Britain and CERTAINLY not Scotland. Great to see people appreciate the genius that was GR though :)

  85. F.... Y....

    You must be so proud! ! Gerry was one of the best
    singers to ever come out of England, or anywhere, for that
    matter.So much deep feeling in that wonderful,unique voice-
    in a way, he lives on through his music.

  86. S.... y....

    Gone but not forgotten. Gerry's music will live on forever.

  87. K.... S....

    Ohhh.....wat ..mooi...geweldig...super..dank je wel Gerry....thanks..!!!

  88. C.... ....

    I have faith that he has ...

    "(awoken) to a love that runs deeper than the need in (him)".

    And i am grateul to him.
    Thank you for the lovely music, and the wonderful Spiritual lyrics, Mister Rafferty!

  89. H.... J....

    -en tiennyt,ei kai ..

  90. H.... J....

    -luulin ,että ei tulisi mitään,nyt ...
    kaunista miten, mies on pitänyt ääntä kiitos. hj

  91. 2.... ....

    My absolute favorite album from Gerry Rafferty!
    Bought it in 1988 and heard only this music for month's in my walkman ;-)
    Great to hear it again !

  92. W.... E....

    hey guys its gerrys son i miss him just as much as you all (

  93. C.... ....

    2 years ago I fell in love with an Irish lass. Fell hard, completely. This song is one that I listened to with her, thought of her as it played. It still brings back the depth of that love and how wonderful she is. An amazing lass, heartbreaking beauty, and charms that would bring the dead alive. Ahhhh. Summer loving. :D
    And no, we are not together. I'm not a good enough man to be with her; I realize that and have kept myself out of her life so as to not sadden her. Life est merde at times.

  94. C.... H....

    It is so sad only his passing seems to have made available a few of his most magical pieces - but I am headed out to get them to compliment the old cassette tapes I started with.

  95. p.... ....

    I did not know the range of his musical talents

  96. D.... A....

    a true star a lot more than just baker street

  97. A.... M....

    @JustErTyJax ...and we must show sympathy to the deaf.
