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
