Moonlight and gold
Midsummer magic when the night turns to day
And songbirds greet the dawn
You lie awake
You watch and wonder while the moon fades away
And one more day is born.
Tides keep on turning, while hearts keep on yearning
To be where they know they belong
All on a new day, you see in a new way
The things you've been leaning upon.
Moonlight and gold
I will awaken to a love that runs deeper
Than the need in me.
While you are sleeping, the new day comes creeping
And life keeps on passing you by
Magic unfolds when the blue meets the gold
And the sun comes to open your eyes.
Moonlight and gold
Midsummer magic when the night turns to day
And songbirds greet the dawn
You lie awake
You watch and wonder while the moon fades away
And one more day is born.
Oh yeah

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his folk rock style influenced by blues. Born in Paisley, Scotland, Rafferty began his musical career in the 1960s with the groups The Humblebums and Stealers Wheel. With the latter, he achieved international success in 1973 with the single "Stuck in the Middle with You", which became a rock classic. After the dissolution of Stealers Wheel, Rafferty embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as "City to City" (1978) and "Right Down the Line" (1980), both characterized by catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. His most famous song is probably "Baker Street", a 1978 single that topped the charts in many countries thanks also to the famous saxophone solo. Rafferty continued to record music until the late 1990s, although he never reached the commercial success of his early years. He died in 2011 at the age of 63.
