Sad Little Moon Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

The saddest brown eyes I'll ever know 

You gave up crying so long ago 

But come outside and watch the snow 

Softly falling 

Sad little moon in the big black sky 

All alone, hang your head and cry 

Sad little moon in the timeless night 

You may sleep but you will never die 

You didn't need them, your Sunday friends 

And so you watched them like grains of sand 

Running one by one out of your hands 

Softly falling
