Lyrics - Sister Moonshine by Supertramp

Ooo-when
I was a small boy,
Well,
I could see the magic in a day,
But, now
I’m just a poor boy,
Well, maybe it’s the price you have to pay,
If you lock your dreams away
If no-one wants to listen.
What’s the story,
I wish
I’d been a minstrel,
Just think of all the maidens
I could call,
Oh-i wish
I’d been a gypsy,
Then maybe
I could read the crystal ball,’cause surrounded by these walls,
Just makes me feel uneasy.
I said hey, sister moonshine
Won’t you send me a little sun
I said hey, sister moonshine
Who’s a stranger to everyone.
So, -make us all laugh-
Make us all cry-make us all give-
Make us all try
Give us a secret, show us the light,
Well, strike up the music, light up the sky.
Mmm-if
I was a lion,
Well,
I could be the king off all the plains,
Mmm-if is was an eagle,
Well, maybe
I could fly above the rains,
Oh, fly above the pain
But,
I know
I’m only foolin’
I said hey, sister moonshine,
Won’t you send me a little sun,
I said hey, sister moonshine,
Who’s a stranger to everyone.
So, -make us all laugh-
Make us all cry,-make us all give-
Make us all cry,
I said hey, sister moonshine
I said hey, sister moonshine,
I said hey, said hey
I said hey,
I said hey sister moonshine.
