Lyrics Cat Stevens

Cat Stevens

Moonstone

Well, first I have to tell you that I'm not insane

And that once I was a famous archaeologist named

In a recent expedition in a distant land.

I just happened to be passing my hand in the sand

And then I stopped, looked, and then I was hooked.

I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone,

Then the mist started, started to clear.

I saw a face, a face in the moonstone,

And then it started to disappear

Well, I walked and walked and never talked

For many days,

And without a friend a desert is a lonely place.

I was just about to turn around and make way home

When something told me that I had to see it again.

And then I stopped, looked, and then I was hooked.

I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone,

Then the mist started, started to clear.

I saw a face, a face in the moonstone,

And then it started to disappear.

A vu ray, a vu ray.

A vu ray.

I saw a flash, then a sparkle from a moonstone

Then the mist started, started to clear

I saw a face, a face in the moonstone

And then it started to disappear,

And then it started to disappear,

And then it started to disappear.
