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
