Lyrics
There was a moon out in space
Setting the scene with the presence of the moon in space.
But a cloud drifted over its face
Introducing a cloud that symbolizes a disturbance or obstacle.
You kissed me and went on your way
Describing a parting kiss and the departure of one person.
The night we called it a day
Referring to the specific evening when their relationship ended.
I heard the song of the spheres
Expressing a metaphorical reference to the cosmic harmony.
Like a minor lament in my ears
Describing a sorrowful melody echoing in the ears.
I hadn't the heart left to pray
Not having the emotional strength to pray or seek solace.
The night we called it a day
Reiterating the night of the breakup and its emotional impact.
Soft through the dark
Highlighting the quietness of the night.
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Introducing the sound of an owl, adding to the somber atmosphere.
Sad though, his song
Noting the sadness in the owl's song, paralleling the narrator's emotions.
No bluer was he than I
Comparing the narrator's sorrow to the melancholy of the owl.
The moon went down, stars were gone
Describing the end of the night, the disappearance of stars and the moon.
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
Contrasting the expected sunrise with the absence of hope or renewal.
There wasn't a thing left to say
Expressing a lack of words or resolution in the aftermath of the breakup.
The night we called it a day
Reaffirming the emotional impact and finality of the night when the relationship ended.
Soft through the dark
Repeating the night's quietude with the owl's hoot in the darkness.
The hoot of an owl in the sky
Reiterating the owl's mournful song, emphasizing the persistent sadness.
Sad though, his song
Reemphasizing the shared melancholy between the narrator and the owl.
No bluer was he than I
Restating the narrator's emotional state, mirroring the owl's blue mood.
The moon went down, stars were gone
Recalling the end of the night and the disappearance of celestial elements.
But the sun didn't rise with the dawn
Highlighting the lack of a symbolic new beginning with the sunrise.
There wasn't a thing left to say
Reiterating the absence of meaningful communication or resolution.
The night we called it a day
Summarizing the poignant night when the relationship ended.
