Jimmy Webb The Moon`s A Harsh Mistress Lyrics

The Moon`s A Harsh Mistress Lyrics

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
Lord, it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the
mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
And the moon's a harsh
mistress
It's so 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, I fell and I fell alone, I fell
alone
And the moon's a harsh mistress
And the sky is made of
stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own.
