Moonlighter Lyrics - Moonlighter - Claire Lynch

I rise with the sun cause my work is never done 

And those leftover chores from the midnight before are still waiting for me 

And once again i'm caught between this rock and hard place 

Well i get up on my feet and make coffee in my sleep 

The school bell rings at eight i hope the kids don't make me late 

Cause the boss will want to know 

Why i'm holdin' up the side show in this rat race 

And it seems like all the days are gettin' shorter 

Fight with time to make your pay 

Give a dollar's worth away to make a quarter 

But i believe the holy light is burnin' brighter 

To come and take this old world back stop the pendulum in its track 

And let the sun forever shine on this moonlighter 

The mornin' news is grim the cost of livin's up again 

And there's little left to spare but i'm contendin' for my share 

Cause my prospects are high people reaching for the good life all around me 

Well i'm sure the lord knew best when he made a day of rest 

But it sure would turn out neat with one more extra day a week 

Maybe then this moonlight dance i do 

Would never have a chance to overtake me 

And it seems like all the days are gettin' shorter...
