By the light of the waning moon Under a blueblack 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 That 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 you`re golden rings For one time on the wheel of fire So take off your shabby coat Let all the leaves fall down Leave this stuff till morning And 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 are still in the mood
