I didn't know
I didn't know that she was nervous
I didn't know
I didn't know that she would run
I didn't know
I didn't know that she'd desert us
I didn't know
That I'd have to kill someone
But our love is like the new moon,
Hidden from our sight,
But I have faith that she'll come back to me some night
To see her cry
To see the look upon my baby,
To hold her hand
And tell her not to be afraid,
To set her down
And brush the hair across her shoulders
It broke my heart
And in the void the pieces prayed
But our Lord is like the new moon
Hidden from our sight,
But I have faith that she'll make peace with him tonight
And on the walls,
I tallied up the balance,
And said she owed a debt to me for trying to stray
And I begged her to stay one more hour,
And when the dawn came she could be upon her way
But when the dawn
But when the dawn came through my window,
Accusing me,
The one who left the deeper sin
I buried her
In a place where God won't find her,
And there I mourned
Until the sun came up again
But in the grave she's like the new moon,
Hidden from our sight,
But I have faith that she'll come back to me tonight
