On certain nights When the angles are right And the moon is a slender crescent
Its circle shows In a ghostly glow Of earthly luminescence
Earthshine A beacon in the night I can raise my eyes to Earthshine Earthshine A jewel out of reach For a dream to rise to Earthshine
Floating high In the evening sky I see my faint reflection
Pale facsimile Like what others see When they look in my direction
Earthshine A beacon in the night I can raise my eyes to Earthshine Earthshine Stretching out your hand Full of starlit diamonds Earthshine
Reflected light To another sight And the moon tells a lover's story
My borrowed face And my third-hand grace Only reflect your glory
Earthshine Stretching out your hand I can raise my eyes to Earthshine Earthshine You're still out of reach For a dream to rise to Earthshine. For a dream to rise to Earthshine.
