Moonshine Lyrics - Shawn Phillips

Yellow flowers bought today 

I bought 'em from the man who lives in the other way 

Wilting flowers couldn't stay 

Not enough water gotta fill 'em to the brink today 

Another moonshine, oh, moonshine 

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain 

Another moonshine, oh, moonshine 

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming 

I don't believe it can be verified 

I don't believe it can be put right 

It's too confused in all of its facets 

It's too complex in all of its ways 

They just continuing to tell me their trouble 

They just continuing to tell me their lies 

They don't believe in helping their brother 

They're standing still and hearing his cries 

If you believe that you got the power 

If you believe it deep in your heart 

You're on the run in front of a gunner 

You're on the run and no one said start 

I said moonshine, "Oh, moonshine 

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain" 

Another moonshine, oh, moonshine 

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming 

Red moon rising, dogs are howling 

Throwing stones at Willy on the other side 

Octogenarians intermarrying 

What you gonna do when the light goes out? 

Madly scrambling in the brambling 

Up the mountain like a frightened trout 

Killing relieves the hunting imperative 

Maiming relieves the sadist's delight 

They don't believe in what they are doing 

I do believe that they are uptight 

Safe and secure in maudlin commodities 

Smug and pedantic into their lives 

Stupidity can never make answers 

Pathos is there in all of its might 

I said moonshine, "Oh, moonshine 

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain" 

Another moonshine, oh, moonshine 

Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain 

Talk about after, there's gonna be laughter 

Talk about after, yeah, there's gonna be laughter 

Talk about after, heh, there's gonna be laughter someday 

Talk about after, there's gonna be laughter someday 

Another sunshine, oh, sunshine 

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, yeah 

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, ah 

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day 

Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new
