Earthshine lyrics

On certain nights

When the angles are right

And the moon is a slender crescent

Its 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

A beacon in the night

I can raise my eyes to earthshine

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

Earthshine

Stretching out your hand

I can raise my eyes to earthshine

Earthshine

You're still out of reach

Form a dream to rise to earthshine

Form a dream to rise to earthshine
