Ballad of a Dead Man

The moon lights up over the battlefield now With a blistering heat somehow Lifeless limp and broken hearts are dead They should have just stayed home instead Stayed alive Well the letter arrives and glistens a mother's eyes She wonders where when and why She could have tucked him in his bed With a kiss on the cheek and his head He'd still lie Well the moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong Well our boys are dead They've been misled Nothing more The sun wakes up Brings sparkles in the morning light Rubs her belly bows her head to cry She lost him before they were wed But he's there in her heart and her head He'll stay alive Oh the moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong Well our boys are dead They've been misled Nothing more Well the moon and the stars can't cast shadows on what is wrong Well our boys are dead They've been misled Nothing more The moon lights up, over the battlefield now --- Ballad Of A Dead Man - The White Buffalo
