[ti:Moonshine] [ar:Bert Jansch] [al:Moonshine] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Moonshine - Bert Jansch [00:16.29]Hearken to the sweet leaves [00:19.23] [00:20.16]That dance so merrily [00:22.91] [00:23.53]I wish the wind would do the same for me [00:29.71] [00:31.21]But rooted here like a withered tree am I [00:36.01] [00:38.32]And I watch both day and night pass by [00:44.19] [00:53.73]It was a cruel and wicked master [00:56.67] [00:57.54]Stole my freedom and charged me [01:00.54] [01:01.72]To fight for him win him victory [01:07.39] [01:09.20]And now here am I in a damp and dreary cell [01:14.69] [01:16.25]And all I know of time is the church bell [01:22.06] [01:32.36]Moonshine soft and clear [01:35.10] [01:35.67]In a death-black endless sky [01:38.85] [01:39.60]Cartwheelin' bright stars twinklin' down [01:44.96] [01:46.64]From the shadows calls the night owl [01:53.20] [01:54.82]He's echoing my loneliness [02:01.31] [02:40.52]Come the stag down from the mountain [02:43.26] [02:44.44]Come the owl from where he sleeps [02:47.81]Come the eagle from his high high nest [02:52.87] [02:55.18]To where the salmon they swim and they sleep [03:01.17] [03:03.04]Come fast and hope to set me free [03:09.16] [03:18.08]I dream of waters flowing [03:21.32] [03:21.88]Sweet air to softly breathe [03:25.25] [03:25.81]Of meadowland where the wagtail bobs and weaves [03:31.05] [03:33.61]Of sunny days where children dance and play [03:39.42] [03:40.54]And sweet music to drive my grief away
