See her how she flies
|
Golden sails across the sky
|
Close enough to touch
|
But careful if you try
|
Though she looks as warm as gold
|
The moon's a harsh mistress
|
The moon can be so cold
|
|
Once the sun did shine
|
Lord, it felt so fine
|
The moon a phantom rose
|
Through the mountains and the pines
|
And then the darkness fell
|
And the moon's a harsh mistress
|
It's so hard to love her well
|
|
I fell out of her eyes
|
I fell out of her heart
|
I fell down on my face
|
Yes, I did, and I - I tripped and I missed my star
|
God, I fell and I fell alone, I fell alone
|
And the moon's a harsh mistress
|
And the sky is made of stone
|
|
The moon's a harsh mistress
|
She's hard to call your own.
