Close enough to touch
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon's a harsh mistress
I fell out of her eyes
I tripped and missed my star
Fell and fell alone
She's hard to call your own
Fell out of her heart
Though with the mountains and the pine
The sky is made of stone
The moon's a harsh mistress
Good lord, it felt so fine
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon a phantom rose
Once the sun did shine
It's hard to love her well
Fell down on my face
But careful if you try
The moon can be so cold
Though she looks as warm as gold
Then the darkness fell
