Earthshine Lyrics

Available on Vapor Trails

Music: Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
Lyrics: Neil Peart

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
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
