And then the darkness fell, the moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well
I fell down on my face, yes I did and I tripped and I missed my star
Though she looks as warm as gold, the moon's a harsh mistress
And I fell and fell alone, the moon's a harsh mistress
Once the sun did shine and Lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose through the mountains and the pine
The moon can be so cold
The sky is made of stone
I fell out of her eyes, I fell out of her heart
