The Moon's a Harsh Mistress

Alice Kristiansen

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
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
The Moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own
