Lyrics:

Feel these hands that
Shake this world
Then try to understand

When the light shines down
And the time goes slowly
When my mind's in the dusk
Scorched and dying
There's a pain in my hand
Inscribed to the sad and lonely
Now I feel so cold and alone
Thinking how long

Now if you had told me
She'll be coming back
And if you had told me
The clock was gonna fall
And if you had shown me
Some affection
I would have believed you

Don't tell me the moon is blue
(Now you've let me go)
Coz tonight it's over
(Now you've let me go)
Now the pain is in the dust
(Now you've let me go)
And you can't find your blue moon
(Now you've let me go)
Now it's over, oh
Tonight it's over

The pain was a shot
One, that couldn't be both ways
And tore my world apart
I could have healed that wound so deep
But you wouldn't understand

Don't tell me the moon is blue
(Now you've let me go)
Coz tonight it's over
(Now you've let me go)
Now the pain's in the dust
(Now you've let me go)
And you can't find your blue moon
(Now you've let me go)
Now it's over, oh
Tonight it's over, ooh
Tonight it's over, oh
Over
Tonight it's over, ooh

Ooh
Tonight it's over
Oh oh over
