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 a 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 his eyes I fell out of his heart I fell down on my face I tripped and missed my stars I fell, And fell along The moon's a harsh mistress The skies are made of stone The moon's a harsh mistress She is hard to call your own
