New Moon

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
