Robbie Robertson - Sonny Got Caught In The Moonlight Lyrics
Sonny got caught in the moonlightA wanted man with a haunted heartSonny found out the hard wayPlaying for keeps, loser weepsHe said he'd come back when the lion sleepsStruck by lightning, the fire is dyingAnd she called out your nameSudden thunder, the sky is cryingCan't tell the tears from the rainSonny got caught in the moonlightPaint graffiti on the subway wallSonny got lost in the blue nightThey stood like statues, legs spread wideCatch him in the crossfire and take him by surpriseStruck by lightning, the fire is dyingAnd she called out your nameSudden thunder, the sky is cryingCan't tell the tears from the rainCan't tell the tears from the rainMost my life I've been runningPaint a portrait of a foolWith my heart in my handsThey've come to take me downSonny got caught in the moonlightBy the power that can turn the tideI heard three shots around midnightDriven by the passion, running from the heatNo questions asked ... he's just a kid from the streetStruck by lightning, the fire is dyingAnd she called out your nameSudden thunder, the sky is cryingCan't tell the tears from the rainCan't tell the tears from the rain
