Lying To The Moon - Matraca Berg

I watch the sun going down

While I stand on sacred ground

Where once the night found us

In the twilight of our love

You said you’d meet me here

But I’m all alone

You sounded so sincere

Well did you lead me on

I told the starry sky to wait for you

I told the wind to sigh like lovers do

I even told the night that you were true

And you would be here soon

And now I’m lying to the moon

And so the night takes me in

Like a sympathetic friend

And sends away the trees

And the willow weeps for me

The shadows fool my eyes

And I think I see you

Then they start to cry

Don’t you know that they believed you

I told the starry sky to wait for you

I told the wind to sigh like lovers do

I even told the night that you were true

And you would be here soon

And now I’m lying to the moon
