Lying To The Moon Lyrics - Singles - Matraca Berg

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
