Company

As I sat the moon started rising
 I'm swinging on the rocking chair
 It's kinda dark on the horizon
 But that's only 'cause the sun ain't there
 As I sat the moon started rising
 And I remembered like it were yesterday
 It was kinda dark beyond the horizon
 He had come to take me away
 I don't know, I don't know of course
 I don't know I don't know why life is so short
 As I stood the moon started rounding
 She saw him dismounting his horse
 In the dark he led himself by starlight
 To the porch and from the far lights of the storm
 And as she stood the moon started rounding
 Her heart started pounding like a fist on the door
 From the dark she heard her name that he was saying
 And that's what she was waiting for
 I don't know, I don't know if it's tame enough there
 I don't know, if I go, will I miss it out here
 She would go but doubt slowly killed it
 Where her love just could not fill it up again
 And he just knew he didn't have to ask her
 He did not run it past her if this were the end
 So she walked here hair flowing behind her
 As a gentle reminder that she was only a child
 And it was dark but he gently kissed her
 He knows he won't forget her with a hint of a smile
 And as she cried he cast back a shadow behind him
 And it did remind him that there were stars up there too
 And it was dark but he gently kissed her
 I'm so sorry I could not accompany you
 I don't know, I don't know why it just wouldn't be
 I don't know I don't know why I couldn't be company
 I don't know I don't know
 I don't know I don't know
 But why couldn't you just stay here with me?
