See her how she flies

Close enough to touch

But careful if you try

Though she looks as warm as gold

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

And the moon's a harsh mistress

It's so hard to love her well

I fell out of her heart

I fell down on my face

I tripped and missed my star

And the sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
