Lyrics

Every night the sun goes down
And the moon comes up You get one more chance to be good
There’s no romance in repetition
Every morning the moon goes down
And the sun comes up It’s an honest tradition
Joy, like love and sleep, evades its pursuers
But it lets itself be found
The poem fails when it’s too far from the song
Song fails when it’s too far from a dance
There’s no repetition in romance
I won’t start drinking wine with you
You’re a naughty boy
I know, it’s a custom where you come from
To kiss anyone under the sun
But we have peace and quiet
Thanks be to God
But we have no shining eyes
That rise on command
Joy, like love and sleep, evades its pursuers
But it lets itself be found
