The Shepherd And The Moon Lyrics - Singles - Aphrodite's Child

Do you know the story 

Of the shepherd who'd turn 

And took the river moon in his arms 

Listen to the story 

Mainly if you cannot read 

Of the man who loved the woman 

You can tuck it up in your mind 

You would like to catch the moonlight 

But you know the thing is not right 

For all of us have some secrets to hide 

Do you know the story 

Of the shepherd who'd turn 

And took the river moon in his arms 

Listen to the story 

Mainly if you cannot read 

Of the man who loved the woman 

Woman was a sting in the thorn 

You will get the moon for the horn 

You'll try to catch it and you'll drown 

Of the moon you were much too full 

Nowadays... people of the mountains say: 

"That the Gods put the moon high up in the sky 

So that the men might not be tempted to steal it" 

Do you know the story 

Of the shepherd who'd turn 

And took the river moon in his arms 

Listen to the story 

Mainly if you cannot read 

Of the man who loved the woman 

Round in the depths of your mind 

For today the moon is too high 

Shepherd tried to catch a sunrise 

You might be more lucky if you try 

Do you know the story 

Of the shepherd who'd turn 

And took the river moon in his arms 

Listen to the story 

Mainly if you cannot read 

Of the man who loved the woman 

La, la, la, la...
