[E]
Moon [A] at twilight, [E] dying day
[Em] [A] Shadows linger on as sunlight [G] slowly fades
Darkness [D]
deepens as night [Em] is drawn
And it's [A] so very long until [Em] another dawn
A lunar miner stirs in [D] his converted canister
[Em] Rubs his eyes and glances at the time
Another day, another shift
[D] Tons of rock to dig and lift
[Em] Moving dozers through the shallow lunar mines
[A] 4 AM or noon [G] makes no difference on the moon
Clocks are just for keep and schedules [Em] define
The rugged miners [D] claim a man can go insane
[G] Seven days of sunshine and seven [Em] more to go
And midnight madness [D] mars the beauty of the [Em] stars
Darkness [D] is forever, lunar turns [Em] so very slow
[A] Then a hundred pairs of [G] eyes are drawn to the sky
Scanning the horizon, anticipating [Em]
Earthrise
Eighteen months a tour, [D] lunar miners must endure
[Em] Many hardships and the work is never done
A hundred men no more mine [D] a million tons of ore
[Em] Every year to tame the power of the sun
[A] But somehow they survive, [G] their spirit kept alive
With hope for the future and a dream of [Em] island one
[A]
Lunar sunrise, [Em] darkness wanes
Cold [A] and grey, dawn crawls [G] across the plain
Blinding [D] glare glistens [Em] on the crater rim
And [A] it's so very long until [Em] the sun goes down again
And [A] it's so very long until [Em] the sun goes down again
And [E] it's so very long [A] until [D] the sun goes down again
[Em] [F#]
