Rising For The Moon Lyrics - Fairport Convention

(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)
