Lying To The Moon Lyrics

Matraca Berg Lying To The Moon

I watch the sun going down while I stand on sacred ground
Where once the night found us in the twilight of our love
You said you'd meet me here but I'm all alone
You sounded so sincere, well, did you lead me on?

I told the starry sky to wait for you
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
I even told the night that you were true
And you would be here soon
And now I'm lying to the moon

And so the night takes me in like a sympathetic friend
And sends away the trees and the willow weeps for me
The shadows fool my eyes and I think I see you
Then they start to cry, don't you know that they believed you?

I told the starry sky to wait for you
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
I even told the night that you were true
And you would be here soon
And now I'm lying to the moon
