Rigmor gustafsson the moon is a harsh mistress lyrics

See her how she flies

Golden sails across the skies

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

The moon's a harsh mistress

It's hard to love her well



I fell out of his eyes

I fell out of his heart

I fell down on my face

I tripped and missed my star

I fell and fell alone

The moon's a harsh mistress

The sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress

She's hard to call your own
