[Verse 1]
I watch the sun going down
While I stand on sacred ground
Where once the night found us
In the twilight of our love

[Pre-Chorus]
You said you'd meet me here
And I'm all alone
You sounded so sincere
Did you lead me on?

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

[Verse 2]
And so the night takes me in
Like a sympathetic friend
And sends the wind through the trees
So the willow weeps for me

[Pre-Chorus]
The shadows fool my eyes
And I think I see you
Then they start to cry
Don't you know they believed you
[Chorus]
I told the starry sky to wait for you
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do
I even told the night that you were true
And you would be here soon
And now I'm lying to the moon

[Instrumental Break]

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