Rush - Earthshine lyrics

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
