See her as 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 pine
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face, yes I did
And I tripped and I missed my star
And I fell and 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

<Flowers In December>

  before I let you down again,
  I just want to see you in your eyes.
  I wouldn't have taken everything out on you,
  I only thought you could understand.
  they say every man goes blind in his heart,
  and they say everybody steals somebody's heart away.
  and I got nothing more to say about it
  nothing more than you would me.
  send me your flowers of your december,
  send me your dreams of your candied wine.
  I've got just one thing I can't give you...
  just one more thing of mine
  they say every man goes blind in his heart
  and they say everybody steals somebody's heart away
  and I've been wondering why you let me down
  and I've been taking it all for granted
