On the countdown, out from the cave
I should've noticed when the sky turned grey
Still, I laughed to myself as the world fell away
It's a funny thing about being in space
You can think you're looking up
When you're just looking away

Did you see it when the sun went out today?
Did you notice that the sun just slipped away?
Could you hear me, baby, crying out here in space?
I tried to reach you, but the moon got in my way

Hey, Mister, can you give me a ride?
I gotta get back to the countryside
Gotta find my feet and put them back on the ground
In this here stubborn city, ain't no sun shining down

Did you see it when the sun went out today?
Did you notice that the sun just slipped away?
Could you hear me, baby, crying out here in space?
I tried to reach you, but the moon got in my way

Babe, I loved you, ain't no doubt about it
Now I don't know what to do or where to go without it
So I sit myself down and write you this song
It may not win you back, you may be too far gone
And now I fear it's coming out all wrong
Still, it helps to move the night along

Did you see it when the sun went out today?
Did you notice that the sun just slipped away?
Could you hear me, baby, crying out here in space?
I tried to reach you, but the moon got in my way
