Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Lyrics

"The Moon And The Sun" lyrics



The Autumn leaves were falling
As we raced against the sun
And all but friends stop calling
They assumed the race was run
And no one here can understand or reason
What we've done
We can't provide the answer
But we can provide the gun

It always looked so easy
When we watched it while we're young
We always found a reason
To be cheerful having fun

Don't blame the moon
Don't blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Don't blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love

The energy of arrogance
Is wasted on the young
The power of all the thoughts
We have is greater than the sum
Don't believe your brothers
They will break you one by one
Don't believe your daughters
They will never bear you sons

Don't blame the moon
Don't blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Don't blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love

It always seemed so easy
When we watched it while we're young
We always found a reason to be cheerful having fun

Don't blame the moon
Don't blame the sun
Just tell me everything will be done
Don't blame the stars from up above
Just tell me everything is done for love
