How I've Come to Hate the Moon

We both know what we're thinking.
Our hearts are like the sun that's sinking.
It's getting late in the evening,
And we know it's time that you were leaving.
I'll lie here alone,
Thinking of you driving home,
And how I've come to hate the moon

Your other life is calling.
You look distracted now the night is falling.
Our precious time is up, I watch you dressing.
These days the sunsets they seem so depressing.
I'll lie here and say,
"Why do you have to go away?"
And how I've come to hate the moon.
I've come to hate the moon.
Every night it takes you far from me,
Back to the arms of your family,
When I need you here in this room
To chase away the moon

I could get so mad about you
Leaving me to spend the night without you.
But I know it wouldn't make a difference
So I say "It's okay" when it isn't.
I will curse the sky and say:
"Why'd you take my love away?"
God, how I've come to hate the moon.
I've come to hate the moon.
Hate the moon
When the darkness comes and you have to go.
You don't have to go.
Please stay.
Just this once
But you say no.
