lyrics
They tore apart the streets today
You edge along the cracks
Sand is falling off your shoes
It's time you headed back
You're losing all your sympathy
Your prosody of fleece
Come the black dog, see you barking
Fearful of the beast
You kissed her on her bike last night
You watched her wheel away
You talked about her lovers
And then came another day
Guess you had a thousand wishes
Guess you wished too much
Guess you kept them to yourself
And guess who's out of luck
But oh, what a moon we have now the clouds are gone
Leaning on the balustrade, waiting for the dawn
Oh, what a moon we have now the skies are clear
Making like a refugee, sleeping in the mirror
You led her through the gallery
You said you were all right
All your heroes there with you
Dressed in black and white
You walked her to the waterfront
You buttoned up her coat
And later when you'd said goodbye
You threw away the note
And oh, what a moon we have now the clouds are gone
Leaning on the balustrade, waiting for the dawn
Oh, what a moon we have now the skies are clear
Making like a refugee, sleeping in the mirror
You ask a lot of questions
But you're running out of time
Let it out or let it in
But don't expect a sign
Go running for the ocean, now
Go running for the hills
But don't you wait for time to tell
It isn't standing still
And oh, what a moon we have now the clouds are gone
Leaning on the balustrade, waiting for the dawn
Oh, what a moon we have now the skies are clear
Making like a refugee, sleeping in the mirror
You edge along the cracks
Sand is falling off your shoes
It's time you headed back
You're losing all your sympathy
Your prosody of fleece
Come the black dog, see you barking
Fearful of the beast
You kissed her on her bike last night
You watched her wheel away
You talked about her lovers
And then came another day
Guess you had a thousand wishes
Guess you wished too much
Guess you kept them to yourself
And guess who's out of luck
But oh, what a moon we have now the clouds are gone
Leaning on the balustrade, waiting for the dawn
Oh, what a moon we have now the skies are clear
Making like a refugee, sleeping in the mirror
You led her through the gallery
You said you were all right
All your heroes there with you
Dressed in black and white
You walked her to the waterfront
You buttoned up her coat
And later when you'd said goodbye
You threw away the note
And oh, what a moon we have now the clouds are gone
Leaning on the balustrade, waiting for the dawn
Oh, what a moon we have now the skies are clear
Making like a refugee, sleeping in the mirror
You ask a lot of questions
But you're running out of time
Let it out or let it in
But don't expect a sign
Go running for the ocean, now
Go running for the hills
But don't you wait for time to tell
It isn't standing still
And oh, what a moon we have now the clouds are gone
Leaning on the balustrade, waiting for the dawn
Oh, what a moon we have now the skies are clear
Making like a refugee, sleeping in the mirror
