See her how 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
good lord it felt so fine
the moon a phantom rose
over the mountains and the pines
then the darkness fell
the moon's a harsh mistress
it's hard to love her well
I fell out of her eyes
fell out of her heart
fell down on my face
I tripped and missed my stars
fell and fell alone
the moons a harsh mistress
the sky is made of stone
the moon's a harsh mistress
she's hard to call your own
