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
