See Her how 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 Lord, it felt so fine The Moon a phantom rose Through the mountains and the pines 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 tripped and missed my star 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
