Call Down The Moon Lyrics

I feel it drifting away
A little further each day
I tried to turn back the tide with an empty heart
I'm feeling battered and bruised
And not a little amused
But that's the way with a good man feeling bad

I tried to call down the moon
And not a minute too soon
But that was so long ago when the world was young
So long, it's all gone
So long, it's all gone

That night is frozen in time
Some kind of weird
Down at the scene of the crime there's no fingerprints
I still remember the place
But I've lost sight of your face
The years have brushed it away with a careless hand

I tried to call down the moon
And not a minute too soon
But that was so long ago when the world was young
So long, it's all gone
So long, it's all gone, all gone, all gone

The clock says quarter to ten
It's started raining again,
That's all that heaven allows in the underworld
I really don't give a damn
If you're the Queen of Siam
I'll take my chances alone in this lousy world

I tried to call down the moon
And not a minute too soon
But that was so long ago when the world was young
