I've been following a feeling
But now I'm running out of road
I was searching for some higher meaning
And a heart to share the load

So what of annihilation
And so what if love's to blame
We all must face our transformation
In this world of ash and flame

Melancholy moon
You always come too soon
Melancholy moon
You always come too soon

You're like Shiva the Destroyer
Or like Jesus of the Plain
And you'd better find a better lawyer
If you don't wanna take the blame

Well, so what of resurrection
And so what of my loving arms
I thought I'd found that great connection
But she was immune to my charms

Melancholy moon
You always come too soon
Melancholy moon
You always come too soon

Melancholy moon
You always come too soon
Oh, melancholy moon
You always come too soon
