I watch the sun going down 
While I stand on sacred ground 
Where once the night found us 
In the twilight of our love 

You said you'd mee me here 
And I'm all alone 
You sounded so sincere 
Did you lead me on 

I told the starry sky to wait for you 
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do 
I even told the night you were true 
And you would be here soon 
And now I'm lying to the moon 

And so the night takes me in 
Like a sympathetic friend 
And sends the wind through the trees 
So the willow weeps for me 

The shadows fool my eyes 
And I think I see you 
Then they start to cry 
Don't you know they believed you 

I told the starry sky to wait for you 
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do 
I even told the night you were true 
And you would be here soon 
And now I'm lying to the moon
