Sad Little Moon Lyrics

the saddest brown eyes I'll ever know
you gave up crying so long ago
but come outside and watch the snow softly falling

sad little moon in the big black sky
all alone, hang your head and cry
sad little moon in the timeless night
you may sleep but you will never die

you didn't need them, your Sunday friends
and so you watched them like grains of sand
running one by one out of your hands
softly falling...

I love this song. I'm not exactly sure what it means, but no one else is posing anything, and Magnetic Fields rocks, but what can you do? The public is so confused.

"You didn't need them, your sunday friends and so you watched them like grains of sand running one by one out of your hands softly falling... " This shows amazing strength. Most people (myself included) need other people. Some people actually HAVE to have people with them, all the time, or they won't function. In this song, however, a stronger feeling is shared.

I interpret this as someone becoming more and more withdrawn. He isn't sharing his feelings anymore (gave up crying, except seemingly when alone) and he's losing his friends because of it.
