(Verse) |
|
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 |
|
(Verse) |
|
Once the sun did shine |
|
And Lord it felt so fine |
|
The moon, the phantom roads |
|
Through the mountains and the pines |
|
And then the darkness fell |
|
And the moon's a harsh mistress |
|
It's hard to love her well |
|
(Verse) |
|
I fell out of her eyes |
|
And I fell out of her heart |
|
I fell down on my face |
|
Yes I did |
|
And I tripped and I missed my star |
|
Then I fell and fell alone |
|
And the moon's a harsh mistress |
|
And the sky's made of stone |
|
The moon's a harsh mistress |
|
She's hard to call your own |
