[Verse 1]
I’m a moon child, have you understand
I’m not Mr. Sunshine, I’m the moonlight man
The days are uptight, you know, controlled by the law
And everybody's working just trying to get off

[Chorus]
But I’m just like the moon, yeah
I'm hanging out now, high in the sky
I come with the night
I’m gone in the morning light

[Verse 2]
When the moon goes down, you know he hides somewhere
He's probably got all of his goods stashed there
He's takin' his rest, just a gatherin' up some strength
He never knows what tomorrow night might bring

[Chorus]
Just like the moon, yeah
I'll be hanging out now, high in the sky
I come with the night
Yeah, I'm gone in, gone in the morning light

[Verse 3]
Ain't it dark outside, you know there ain't no light
You got to get on with the light inside
You give to me, honey, and I'll give it back to you
That's the way we'll make it, yeah, the whole night through
[Chorus]
Just like the moon, yeah
I'll be hanging out, yeah, so high in the sky
Yeah, I come with the night
Yeah, I’m gone in, gone in the morning light

[Outro]
Just a moon child
Have you understand
No, I'm a moonlight man
