So her heart is crying for love.
And there is no-one there,
No-one to to hear her voice.
An d she will sleep alone again to night.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
But he is somewhere else,
Somewhere she cannot see.
Oh, and the night is dark
Now the sun shines on a new town.
With a smile he gets off the train.
Leans back to see the sky.
Oh and he thinks how much
Without her hanging round.
And the day is passing by him,
And he has nowhere to stay.
At a lonely bar-room table,
His mind goes back to yesterday,
To the girl who's dead and buried,
But her face lives in his eyes.
He must forget that face forever.
Make the future start tonight.
There is cancer in his cigarettes.
But revive some stupid memories.
Then a hairstyle that reminds him,
Makes him run into the night,
Where the moon hangs high above him now,
But the wind catches her words.
And the moon swallows them whole.
Now the moon is high in the sky.
In her room she calls out his name.
The night is cold and dark,
Her body screams for love.
She wants to be with him.
"My God, my God, why did he go away?"
