Lyrics

The moon goes
Across the sky and I don't know why
It won't stay with me
The moon goes
I move my chair so I can stare
At the last of the light

I have been here so many times
Trying to hold on to you
And more often than not there's been clouds
I haven't even got a view

The moon goes
Carving an arc from the school to the park
Diving like a swan
The moon goes
Peeking its eye through the mottled sky
Winking like it knows

The stars step back when you come out
Oh so graciously
I've been waiting so long I want to shout
And then you come and smile at me

The moon goes
Waving goodbye and I don't know why
I stay out here so long
The moon goes
The sky collapses, breathing its last
And closing its eyes
