New Moon by The Pine Box Boys Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
But our Lord is like the new moon
Hidden from our sight
But I have faith that she'll make peace with him tonight
[Bridge]
And on the walls I tallied up the balance
It 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

[Verse 3]
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 went down again

[Chorus]
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
