Come on baby let's stay together
I'm gonna change, I swear that I just might
Everyone says that you could've done better
But you were oh so young and I was there at night
Underneath the moon darling
Hiding in the shadows cast by the trees
I snuck into your room darling
Just to watch you sleep underneath those moonbeams
Believe in me girl, it ain't gonna be easy
I'd better be dead or locked in the cell that I'm in
Whatever you do always remember that
I wrote my name down where no other man had been
Underneath the moon darling
Hiding in the shadows cast by the trees
I snuck into your room darling
Just to watch you sleep underneath those moonbeams
Well now weeds grow where you said I slept
With all your friends and half of your enemies
And moss grows over my eyelids so I can't
Watch you take your dress off in front of me
And I've been beat down plenty
But I only break
When you use that flesh to make fun of me
(Oh yeah)
Underneath the moon darling
Hiding in the shadows cast by the trees
I snuck into your room darling
Just to sleep with you underneath those moonbeams
Underneath those moonbeams
You know there comes a time they say
When you gotta stop looking back over your shoulder
And you gotta look forward straight away
I've been leaning on memories a long time
But right now the past is my only friend and
I can't let it fade away
Underneath the moon darling
Hiding in the shadows cast by the trees
I snuck into your room darling
Just to watch you sleep underneath those moonbeams
