Lyrics:

See her as 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

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 his eyes

I fell out of his heart

I fell down on my face
I tripped and I missed my stars
And 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
