The Moon's A Harsh Mistress Lyrics

Alice Kristiansen The Moon's A Harsh Mistress

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Once the sun did shine
And 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

[Outro]
The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own
