The Moon's A Harsh Mistress

Lyricist:Jimmy Webb

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

Once the sun did shine
And Lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pine

And then the darkness fell

And the moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face, yes I did
And I, I tripped and I missed my star

God and I fell and I fell alone
I fell alone
And the moon's a harsh mistress
And the sky is made of stone

And the moon's a harsh mistress, yes she is
She's hard to call your own
