Lyrics
There was a moon out in space
Setting the scene with a moon in the sky
But a cloud drifted over it's face
Symbolizing an obstruction or difficulty in the situation
You kissed me and went on your way
A farewell kiss before parting ways
The night we called it a day
Referring to the specific night of separation
I heard the song of the spheres
Hearing a celestial harmony, possibly implying a sense of longing or sorrow
Like a minor lament in my ears
Comparing the celestial harmony to a sad, melancholic tune
I hadn't the heart left to pray
Feeling emotionally drained, unable to find solace in prayer
The night we called it a day
Referencing the same night of parting, indicating a sense of emotional void
Soft through the dark
Describing the ambient sounds in the darkness
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Highlighting the sound of an owl, possibly signifying a sense of loneliness
Sad though his song
Comparing the sadness of the owl's song to the speaker's own state of mind
No bluer than he was I
Emphasizing the emotional similarity between the speaker and the owl
The moon went down, stars were gone
Transitioning to a darker phase, the disappearance of hope or light
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
Highlighting the absence of a positive change despite the passing of time
There wasn't a thing left to say
Expressing a lack of words or resolution in that moment
The night we called it a day
Reiterating the emotional closure on the night of separation
Soft through the dark
Repetition of the ambient sounds in the darkness
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Continuation of the owl's hoot as a symbol of solitude
Sad though his song
Reiterating the sorrowful tone of the owl's song
No bluer than he was I
Emphasizing the emotional connection between the speaker and the owl
The moon went down, stars were gone
Reiteration of the dark phase and absence of hope
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
Emphasizing the lack of positive change or improvement
There wasn't a thing left to say
Restating the absence of closure or resolution
The night we called it a day
Finalizing the emotional closure on the night of separation
