There was a moon out in space, but a cloud drifted over its face

You kissed me and went on your way the night we called it a day

I heard the song of the spheres, like a minor lament in my ears

I hadn't the heart left to pray, the night we called it a day

Soft through the dark, the hoot of an owl in the sky

Sad though his song, no bluer was he than I

The moon went down stars were gone, but the sun didn't rise with the dawn

There wasn't a thing left to say, the night we called it a day

There wasn't a thing left to say, the night we called it a day
