It was exactly late at night
When first appeared the faint Moonlight
It steady rose up through the trees
To touch the water in the breeze
And as an hour slowly past
It's fullness showed itself at last

The trick is finding your good name
Inside a pool of doubt and blame

You should have let me stalk you in your sleep
Awoke if it was me and let me keep
A bit of soul for my system of belief
Instead of proving worthy as a thief

And on that same day in the church's trash
Found so much wine we did not trade for cash
A drunken night to gaze upon your back
Did we make love or one of us attack

Would that were a night we slept
A promise somewhere wasn't kept

But,uh, we ain't really moving yet
As they say, you see
Not so much the distance,girl
Or that we'd disagree
The load, it's not so heavy as
The weighing on my mind
Just I can't take the proper time
To radically unwind

But you, I've heard, and I relate
You're treasure nearly mine
By all accounts of twisting fate
I'm supposed to say,"We're fine"
Wrap those hands from off my neck
Weave solice in your pain
We don't have many hours before
The Sun goes down again

We'll say goodbye, walk in shame
Take pity on our ***** name
It's a solitude between two crimes
And my heart longs for your touch each time

Let the Devil witness, he'll learn too
Screams and laughing cries
Shining eyes I've known a few
But they still don't realize
It's a distant moment here and now
Ain't your suicide
4 in the morning sunshine wake
In blood you are my bride

Would I were to do this wrong
Where I would stop and travel on
I reckoned long some years before
Half drowned in dream at the river floor

A hundred miles from our rainy night
Thunder lightened the world's sight
I felt a whisper wrapt in tears
And I ain't been home 'till the weather clears

Myself could else remember then
To wake beside the water again
A lonesome end to our Autumn night
That was our love if we held it tight

I never found your arms again
It hangs my head to know you when
By chance I'll see you nears the end
When all you asked was a loyal friend
