Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They've stolen the moon
The magic is gone
And there in its place
A black midnight sun
The darkness is frightenin'
And love is denied
They've stolen the moon
God only knows why
[Verse 2]
The stars have lost their daughter
The devil's thieves have won
And there in her place
A black midnight sun
[Verse 3]
They've stolen the moon
The magic is gone
And there in its place
A black midnight sun
The darkness is frightenin'
And love is denied
They've stolen the moon
God only knows why
[Verse 4]
The stars have lost their daughter
The devil's thieves have won
And there in a place
A black midnight sun
Written by: Charles Brown, David Sylvian, Eddie Williams, Johnny Moore
