The Moon is a Harsh Mistress Lyrics by Pete Huttlinger

2011

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
O 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
Guitar Solo
Fell out of his eyes
I fell out of his heart
I fell down on my face
And I tripped and I missed my star
I fell and I 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
