[Verse 1: Stephin Merritt]
The saddest brown eyes I'll ever know
You gave 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
