"Clouds Across the Moon" is a song written by Richard Anthony Hewson.

It was released as a single on 18 March 1985 on his studio group the RAH Band's album Mystery.

In an interview with Smash Hits on 8 May 1985, Richard Anthony Hewson said that the song took place in the future where there was a 100-year long war on Mars.

It’s been suggested the song’s reference to "Flight 247" was included to garner airplay from BBC Radio 1 who at one time had broadcast on the wavelength of 247 metres on the medium wave band.

This however is unlikely as Radio 1 had switched to broadcasting on 275 & 285 metres in 1978, nearly 7 years before the song’s release.”[4] The vocals were performed by Hewson's wife Liz.
