|
See her as she flies |
|
Golden sails across the skies |
|
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 |
|
And Lord it felt so fine |
|
The moon a phantom rose |
|
Through the mountains and the pine |
|
And then the darkness fell |
|
The moon's a harsh mistress |
|
It's 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 tripped and I missed my star |
|
And I fell and fell alone |
|
The moon's a harsh mistress |
|
The sky is made of stone |
|
The moon's a harsh mistress |
|
She's hard to call your own |
