Rush - 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'll still out of reach
Form a dream to rise to earthshine

Form a dream to rise to earthshine
