See her as 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 and 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 did
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
