The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress Lyrics
by Judy Collins
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
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e51600-judy_collins~the_moon_is_a_harsh_mistress_lyrics.html ]
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
Once the sun did shine
Good lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Though with the mountains and the pine
Then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well
I fell out of her eyes
Fell out of her heart
Fell down on my face
I tripped and missed my star
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
