The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress

Lyrics

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
 And the moon's a harsh mistress
 It's so hard to love her well
 I fell out of her eyes
 I fell out of her heart
 I fell down on my face
 Yes, I did, and I -- I tripped and I missed my star
 God, I fell and I fell alone, I fell alone
 And the moon's a harsh mistress
 And the sky is made of stone
 The moon's a harsh mistress
 She's hard to call your own.
