The moon's a harsh mistress

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

Once a sun did shine

Lord it felt so fine

The moon a phantom rose

Through the mountains and the pine

And then the darkness fell

The moon's a harsh mistress

It's hard to love her well

Instumental (down)

Verse 3 (down)

I fell out of his eyes

I fell out of his heart

I fell down on my face

I tripped and I missed my star

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
