It was the night
Cold English night

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
