Earthshine
Earthshine (Rush cover)
The phenomenon of planet shine occurs when reflected sunlight from a planet illuminates the night side of one of its moons. In this case the Earth and the Moon.
Earthshine
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, 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
