No Moon In Paris

(album: Negative Capability - 2018)

There's no moon, no moon in Paris
And it's very lonely here tonight
Everywhere else there's a full moon
But not here, not now, and nothing's going right

What can I do but pretend to be brave
And pretend to be strong when I'm not
There's no moon, no moon in Paris tonight
And it's lonely and that's all I got

No moon, no moon in Paris
And it's very lonely here tonight
When I think of all the moons that shone for us
So distantly
All through the full moon night

It always made me gasp
Gasp with love to see
But that was when I still loved you
And you loved me

There's no moon, no moon in Paris tonight
And it's lonely, and that's all I got

Everything passes, everything changes
There's no way to stay the same
As below, then so above
The only thing that stays the same is love

I've seen the moon in Morocco
And I've seen the moon in Brazil
Oh, I've seen it in the darkest times
Coming over the hill
In Martinique it shines on the sea
But in Paris it usually shines on me

There's no moon, no moon in Paris
And it's lonely, as lonely as can be
