It Was the Night - Robyn Hitchcock

It was the day

Warm English day

It was the moon shining down on the water so white

It was the moon shining down on the water

It was the house

Old English house

Blind as the night

She’s dressed in white

She was so warm, good Lord, how I miss her right now

Just like the moon shining down on the water

Shine, shine

Unearthly light

It was the night

Cold English night

It was the air

Azure and rare

It was a girl with her face in the shadows so dark

Just like the moon shining down on the water

Just like the moon shining down on the water
