The Moon And The Sun - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

The autumn leaves were falling

As we raced against the sun

And all but friends stop calling

They assumed the race was run

And no one here can understand or reason

What weve done

We cant provide the answer

But we can provide the gun

It always looked so easy

When we watched it while were young

We always found a reason

To be cheerful having fun

Dont blame the moon

Dont blame the sun

Just tell me everything will be done

Dont blame the stars from up above

Just tell me everything is done for love

The energy of arrogance

Is wasted on the young

The power of all the thoughts

We have is greater than the sum

Dont believe your brothers

They will break you one by one

Dont believe your daughters

They will never bear you sons

It always seemed so easy

When we watched it while were young

We always found a reason to be cheerful having fun

Dont blame the moon

Dont blame the sun

Just tell me everything will be done

Dont blame the stars from up above

Just tell me everything is done for love
