Rush - Earthshine Lyrics

Artist: Rush

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart

On certain nights
When the angles are right
And the moon is
A slender crescent

It's circle shows
In a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence

Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes
To earthshine

Earthshine
A jewel out of reach
Form a dream to rise
To earthshine

Floating high
In the evening sky
I see my
Faint reflection

Pale facsimile
Like what others see
When they look
In my direction

Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes
To earthshine

Earthshine
Stretching out your hand
Full of starlit diamonds
Earthshine

Reflected light
To another's sight
And the moon
Tells a lover's story

My borrowed face
And my third-hand grace
Only reflect your glory

Earthshine
Stretching out your hand
I can raise my eyes
To earthshine

Earthshine
You're still out of reach
Form a dream to rise
To earthshine
Form a dream to rise
To earthshine
