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
