10 Watt Moon

When I stirred in the afterlight
I found myself in the dusk, and I knew
As the light ebbed out, I saw that broken bulb
My heart did croon for the midnight moon

The bad men had come so fast
I should've waited up and stopped them myself
Where a brilliant sphere once hung so high
They replaced our muse with a 10 watt moon

We woke up. It was very, very late
He was gone so soon, he was gone too soon
Had we known this would be his fate
We wouldn't have sold our tune to the 10 watt moon

Oh, 10 watt moon, 10 watt moon

The weavers spin from nocturnal thread
A semblance of our familiar friend
The astronomers have done us right
Sold us photographs of our former light

The wisest advised us to persist
The 10 watt moon will help our eyes
But, I can't see a damn thing in the dark
I suppose that's why I'm not wise

We woke up. It was very, very late
He was gone so soon, he was gone too soon
Had we known this would be his fate
We wouldn't have sold our tune to the 10 watt moon

Oh, 10 watt moon, 10 watt moon
