Lyrics
Dark moon, dark moon
Dark moon (dark moon), a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why
You've lost your splendor (oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why)
Dark moon (dark moon), what is the cause your light withdraws?
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love? (Dark moon, dark moon)
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
Dark moon (dark moon), a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why
You've lost your splendor (oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why)
Dark moon (dark moon), what is the cause your light withdraws?
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love?
Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes
But they don't realize that love will sometimes bring a
Dark moon (dark moon), a way up high up in the sky
Oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why
You've lost your splendor (oh, tell me why, oh, tell me why)
Dark moon (dark moon), what is the cause your light withdraws?
Is it because, is it because I've lost my love? (Dark moon, lost love)
