the night we called it a day

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

sang those songs

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

the night we called it a day
