lyrics

ol’ sister moon can you tell why
the seasons fade from dawn till after

cos that northern wind’s been blowin by
it makes me feel like I’m alone

well I done had some whiskeys by the by
while I was sittin by the fire

the first winter’s snow’s been fallin down
and I’ve gone wanderin by your light

and somewhere way up high
up on the mountain
there’s a grey wolf that I hear sometimes
he cries out in the night
y’know he’s a friend of mine

well ol’ sister moon can you tell why
I have these dreams when I am sleepin

I dream the sun is settin down
beyond the mountains to the sea

and in my dream
my spirit’s like an eagle
racin hard before the darkness
as it falls across the sky

I look into your eyes
but there’s no answer
you just shine on with your silver light
but you don’t make no sound
and sister you ain’t tellin lies

ol’ sister moon can you tell why
the seasons fade from dawn till after

cos that northern wind keeps blowin by
and I don’t feel like bein alone

I think I’ll wander high
up on the mountains
there’s a grey wolf that I hear sometimes
he’s cryin out in the night
y’know he’s a friend of mine

he’s always been a friend of mine
