  • There's no moon, no moon in Paris
    And it's very lonely here tonight
    Everywhere else there's a full moon
    But not here, not now, and nothing's going right

    What can I do but pretend to be brave
    And pretend to be strong when I'm not
    There's no moon, no moon in Paris tonight
    And it's lonely and that's all I got

    No moon, no moon in Paris
    And it's very lonely here tonight
    When I think of all the moons that shone for us
    So distantly
    All through the full moon night

    It always made me gasp
    Gasp with love to see
    But that was when I still loved you
    And you loved me

    There's no moon, no moon in Paris tonight
    And it's lonely, and that's all I got

    Everything passes, everything changes
    There's no way to stay the same
    As below, then so above
    The only thing that stays the same is love

    I've seen the moon in Morocco
    And I've seen the moon in Brazil
    Oh, I've seen it in the darkest times
    Coming over the hill
    In Martinique it shines on the sea
    But in Paris it usually shines on me

    There's no moon, no moon in Paris
    And it's lonely, as lonely as can be Writer/s: Ed Harcourt, Marianne Faithfull
