The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress - Steve Dobrogosz/Radka Toneff

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

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 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
