[Verse 1]

It's a sound I know so well

A thousand voices bleeding into one

Listening to lovers talk

I only dream of ordinary things

[Chorus]

The moon is low tonight

(Any time of night)

And I bend to keep myself in line

(Any time of night)

[Verse 2]

Half-awake, I see her face

An angel swinging from a trapeze wire

Sad and lost with curly hair

And chicken feathers strapped against her back

[Chorus]

The moon is low tonight

(Any time of night)

And I bend to keep myself in line

(Any time of night)

It's all I want

(Any time of night)

This strange desire come to life

(Any time of night)

[Bridge]

(Any time of night)

(Any time of night)

[Chorus]

The moon is low tonight

(Any time of night)

And I bend to keep myself in line

(Any time of night)

It's all I want

(Any time of night)

A strange desire come to life

(Any time of night)
