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 earthshine3
