Joe Cocker - The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress Lyrics

Artist: Joe Cocker

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Blues

  • Songwriters: Jimmy Webb

See her, how she flies
Golden sails across the skies
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
Girl, Lord it felt so fine
The moon, a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pines
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
I tripped and I missed my stars
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
