THE MAN IN THE MOON
Bill Dickson, Kathy Stewart
As sung by Andy M. Stewart on "Man in the Moon," 1994

I came from the land of the long grass and gorse.
I flew with the eagle and I ran with the horse.
And I played with the wild wind and whistled its tune.
I ebbed with the ocean and slept in the moon.

CHORUS: And you brought me down gently. You brought me down clean.
You fed me the summer. You fed me your dreams.
Your hands held the wound and heart healed the pain,
And your eyes stole the light of the moon as it waned.

We journeyed the moorlands and oceans of blue.
We slept with the dawn and we rose with the dew;
And we sang with the breezes of the year to be born.
We lay in the long grass when the scythe took the corn. CHORUS

I will fall with the leaves. I'll turn with the land.
I'll chill with the first frost that stings on your hand;
But I gathered the seeds from the gorse and the broom.
"I'll lay them forever," said the Man in the Moon. CHORUS
