The Magnetic Fields
Sad Little Moon
[Verse 1]
The saddest brown eyes
I'll ever know
You gave up crying
So long ago
But come outside
And watch the snow
Softly falling
[Chorus]
Sad little moon in the big black sky
All alone, hang your head and cry
Sad little moon in the timeless night
You may sleep, but you will never die
[Verse 2]
You didn't need them
Your Sunday friends
And so you watched them
Like grains of sand
Running one by one
Out of your hands
Softly falling
