The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress Lyrics - Party Girl: Radio Broadcast 1982 - Linda Ronstadt

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 pine 

And then the darkness fell 

The moon's a harsh mistress 

It's hard to love her well 

Photos 

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
