Clouds Across The Moon

[synthetic bell:] ding-dong

[operator:] Good evening. This is the intergalactic operator. Can I help you?

[woman:] Yes. I'm trying to reach flight commander P.R. Johnson, on Mars, flight 2-4-7.

[operator:] Very well. Hold on, please...

[synthetic sounds]

[operator:] You're through.
[woman:] Thank you, operator.

Hi, darling,
How you're doing?
Hey baby,
Were you sleeping?
Oh I'm sorry,
But I've been really missing you.

Hi, darling,
How's the weather?
Say baby,
Is that cold better now?
Oh, I'm sorry,
Is there someone there with you?
Oh, since you went away there's nothing going right
I just can't sleep alone at night
I'm not ashamed to say I badly need a friend
Or it's the end?

* Now when I look at the clouds across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
Oh baby,
You'll hurry home to me

Hi, darling,
The kids say they love you
Hey baby,
Is everything fine with you?
Please forgive me,
But I'm trying not to cry
Oh, I've had a million different offers on the phone
But I just stay right here at home
I don't think that I can take it anymore,
This crazy war!

** Now when I look at the clouds across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
Oh darling,
You'll hurry home to me

[synthetic bell:] ding-dong
[operator:] I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we are experiencing violent storm conditions in the asteroid belt at this time. We may lose this valuable deep-space communication link. Please be as brief as possible. Thank you.

Oh, since you went away there's nothing going right
I just can't sleep alone at night
I'm not ashamed to say I badly need a friend
Or it's... it's...

[noise]

[woman:] Hello? Hello operator? Yes, I seem to have lost the connection. Could you try again please?

[operator:] I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we have lost contact with Mars 2-4-7 at this time.

[woman:] Okay. Well thank you very much.
[woman:] I'll... I'll try again next year... next year... next year...

Now when I look at the clouds across the moon
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon
You'll hurry home to me

[repeat *]

[long instrumental interlude]

[repeat * ** and fade away]
