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