4 o'clock in the morning
  Moon on the sea
  The night is rattling
  With burglar alarms, oh yeah
  
  The night is blue
  The night is blue
  Flowers by your window side
  Autumn is graceful
  I'm laden with memory
  And the wind has died
  
  7 o'clock in the evening
  Watching the TV show
  Tears from your dark eyes
  Your head against the sunset
  And the harbour below
  
  It's the cruellest thing
  The cruellest thing
  That I've ever known
  It's time and circumstance
  Taking their toll
  There's no stones being thrown
  
  Your bed was a warm bed
  A warm bed in a cold room
  Always the same pictures on the wall
  And some love in the morning
  With your dog at your pillow
  And a half empty bottle of baby oil
  
  7 o'clock in the evening
  Moon on the sea
  Oh, the night is rattling
  With burglar alarms
  Oh, they're ringing for me
  
  It's the cruellest thing
  The cruellest thing
  That I've ever known
  It's just time and circumstance
  Taking their toll
  There's no stones being thrown
