McKenzie Prince has been called many things in her life.
Being labelled as a pathological liar and 'trailer trash' were the ones that seemed to stick.
She desperately tries to find her place amongst exes, old enemies, new enemies and her own fami...
My favorite song in the whole world is called Moon Shadow and it is sung by Cat Stevens. The song is really old, but for some reason I am completely and madly in love with it.
I remember sitting on my father's lap when I was four years old. Moon Shadow was playing on the radio and my father was singing along. It was one of those rare occasions where my father was not drunk. I think one of the reasons I love this song so much is because in that one moment I was truly happy and content.
Even if it was only for duration of that one song; I actually had a real father.
It is one of those songs that created a lot of controversy throughout the years. Some people believed that it had a deeper meaning, while others believed that it was just a bunch of gibberish.
Sometimes life itself is nothing but gibberish. Very little means anything.
The lyrics go something like this;
"Oh, I'm being followed by a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow,
Leaping and hoppin' on a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow,
And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my hand,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, oh if......I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, of if.... I won't have to cry no more.
Oh, I'm being' followed by a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow,
Leaping and hoppin' on a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow,
And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, oh if....I won't have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if...I won't have to talk...
Oh, I'm being' followed by a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow,
Leaping and hoppin' on a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow,
Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?
Oh, I'm being' followed by a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow,
Leaping and hoppin' on a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow..."
AN: I DO NOT OWN THE SONG OR THE LYRICS ABOVE. IT WAS WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY CAT STEVENS (A.K.A YUSUF ISLAM) IN 1971
