Letra de
Moonshadow

Moonshadow é uma música do cantor britânico Cat Stevens, incluída em seu álbum Teaser and the Firecat, lançado em 1971. Stevens afirmou que a inspiração para a canção veio enquanto ele estava deitado na cama em um quarto de hotel em Málaga, Espanha, e via sua sombra projetada na parede pelo raio de luar. A letra reflete a filosofia de Stevens de enfrentar dificuldades (perda dos olhos, pernas, boca, etc.) com esperança e otimismo.

Oh, I'm Bein'followed by a moon shadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---
And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if------------- I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my coloures all ran dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if------------- I won't have to cry no more.
Oh, I'm Bein'followed by a moon shadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---
And if i ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if-------------- I won't have to walk no
more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if-------------- I won't have to talk
Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the ni---------ght?
Oh, I'm Bein'followed by a moon shadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---
