[00:49.203]As the sun shines down on the land
[00:55.901]So her heart is crying for love
[01:01.694]And there is no-one there, no-one to hear her voice
[01:08.063]And she will sleep alone again tonight
[01:14.065]Now the moon is high in the sky
[01:21.827]In her room she calls out his name
[01:27.503]But he is somewhere else, somewhere she cannot see
[01:34.097]Oh, and the night is dark between them now
[01:38.035]"My God, my God, why did he go away?"
[01:42.765]
[01:57.977]Now the sun shines on a new town
[02:01.894]With a smile, he gets off the train
[02:05.372]He lights a cigarette, leans back to see the sky
[02:09.922]Oh, and he thinks how much better off he is
[02:12.071]Without her hanging 'round, let's do it
[02:14.652]
[02:30.123]And the day is passing by him and he has nowhere to stay
[02:33.770]At a lonely bar-room table, his mind goes back to yesterday
[02:37.820]To the girl who's dead and buried, but her face lives in his eyes
[02:41.806]He must forget that face forever, make the future start tonight
[02:45.445]Forget it
[02:48.618]
[03:02.193]But the meal he eats is dead flesh, there is cancer in his cigarettes
[03:06.009]And the drinks won't do a thing for him
[03:07.705]But revive some stupid memories
[03:09.959]Then a hairstyle that reminds him, makes him run into the night
[03:13.944]Where the moon hangs high above him now
[03:16.046]The same moon that she's praying on tonight
[03:21.754]But the wind catches her words
[03:24.871]And the moon swallows them whole
[03:29.782]Now the moon is high in the sky
[03:37.141]In her room she calls out his name
[03:42.954]The night is cold and dark, and she is all alone
[03:48.586]The bed is empty now, her body screams for love
[03:54.419]She wants to be with him, oh, but he's so far away
[04:00.204]Oh, and the night is dark between them now
[04:03.522]"My God, my God, why did he go away?"
