Earthshine Lyrics by Rush

R30: 30th Anniversary World Tour

2002

[Verse 1]
On certain nights
When the angles are right
And the moon is a slender crescent
Its circle shows
In a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence

[Chorus 1]
Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes to
Earthshine
Earthshine
A jewel out of reach
Form a dream to rise to
Earthshine

[Verse 2]
Floating high
In the evening sky
I see my faint reflection
Pale facsimile
Like what others see
When they look in my direction

[Chorus 2]
Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes to
Earthshine
Earthshine
Stretching out your hand
Full of starlit diamonds
Earthshine

[Verse 3]
Reflected light
To another's sight
And the moon tells a lover's story
My borrowed face
And my third hand grace
Only reflect your glory

[Chorus 3]
Earthshine
Stretching out your hand
I can raise my eyes to
Earthshine
Earthshine
You'll still out of reach
Form a dream to rise to
Earthshine

[Outro]
Form a dream to rise to
Earthshine
