sad little moon

The Magnetic Fields

the saddest brown eyes I'll ever know
you gave up crying so long ago
but come outside and watch the snow softly falling

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

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...
