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
