Richard Bedford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A black sky is falling
It's cold tonight
You gave me your answer
Goodbye
Now I'm all on my own tonight
You can never know the odds
If you don't play you'll never win
We were in heaven you and I
When I lay with you and close my eyes
Our fingers touch the sky
I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me
I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
You held back and lost out
You gave in to reach down
And walk away
A final embrace
You won't turn, I won't change
Nothing more to say
But when the big wheel starts to spin
You can never know the odds
If you don't play you'll never win
We were in heaven you and I
When I lay with you and close my eyes
Our fingers touch the sky
I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me
I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
The lyrics of Richard Bedford's "Sun & Moon" depict a troubled relationship that has come to an end. The first verse sets a melancholic scene with the imagery of raining, pouring, and a black sky falling. The mood is further established with the line "It's cold tonight," conveying a sense of loneliness and isolation. The chorus reveals the reason for this heavyheartedness - a goodbye that the singer had received from the one he loved. He is left to his own devices, reflecting on the relationship that had meant so much to him but now seems irreparable.
The second verse delves deeper into the details of the breakup. The line "You held back and lost out" suggests that the person he loved was perhaps too reserved and guarded to give the relationship a fair chance. The line "A final embrace, You won't turn, I won't change, Nothing more to say" encapsulates the finality of their decision to end things. Yet, the song offers a ray of hope with the lines "But when the big wheel starts to spin, You can never know the odds, If you don't play you'll never win."
Overall, "Sun & Moon" is an emotionally charged song that speaks to the heartbreak of a failed relationship. It offers a glimmer of hope, urging the listener to take chances and play the game of love, even though the odds may be against them.
