Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Girl, Lord it felt so fine
The moon's a harsh mistress
Once the sun did shine
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well
I fell out of her heart
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
The moon, a phantom rose
I fell and fell alone
I fell out of her eyes
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
Through the mountains and the pines
I fell down on my face
I tripped and I missed my stars
Though she looks as warm as gold
The sky is made of stone
