By the light of the waning moon
Under a blue black sky
They talked the slow way home
Of years passed closely by They caught only a casual look
From strangers with things to do
Only a loveless heart
Could feel anything less than sure They're still in the mood, still in the mood
After the time has passed
They were still in the mood You'd take the chimes of midnight
To be the drum of your heart's desire
And you'd change all your golden rings
For one time on the wheel of fire Take off your shabby coat
Let all the leaves fall down
Leave this stuff till morning
Then come gently 'round To be still in the mood, still in the mood
When the sun has come up
We'll be still in the mood We're still in the mood, still in the mood
After the time has passed
We're still in the mood
