Fairport Convention - Rising For The Moon lyrics

rate me

(Sandy Denny)

I travel over the sea and ride the rolling sky

For that's the way it is, that is my fortune

There are many ears to please, many people's love to try

And every day's begun rising for the moon

There's a heart in every place, there's a tear for each farewell

For that's the way it is, that is my fortune

I'll lure you as the lace that the wayward gypsies sell

With the sinking of the sun, rising of the moon

chorus:

Rising for the moon, the sun has set and it is dark

But the star of the enchanted tune is bright as any spark

The chorus of the dusk regail the evening lark

Whose every day does start rising for the moon

We travel over the sea and ride the rolling sky

For that's the way it is, that is our fortune

There are many ears to please, many people's love to try

And every day's begun rising for the moon

chorus (x2)
