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 meet 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 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
