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 set myself down and write you this song
It may not win you back you may be too far gone
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
