Captain Beefheart Moonchild Lyrics

Moonchild Lyrics

moonchild  
On the night she born the lightning flashed and the thunder roar  
But when they heard her cry -the clouds rolled back and the full moon fill the
sky  
Shinin` down in her eye  
Can you hear her cry  
 
Moon child  
She always look so pale  
The things she wear and the long white veil  
She wrapped it up so tight -your mind come loose and you drift on out of sight 

She`s a child of the night  
Can you hear her cry  
 
Moon child  
....too high (she always tries to hide?)  
The way she feel s on the darker side  
She like to fall in love every time there`s a full moon up above  
Then she`s out of this world  
She`s another girl  
And it makes her cry  
I love to hear her cry  
Moon Child
