I’m still here under the moon We’re still here under the moon I was just a child, but you seemed like so much more The way you’d always haunt me and drift across the floor I’d see you in the hall, and you’d kiss me with a smile I never had to wonder if I was worth your while The other kids at school, they would hate me and they’d spit ’Cause I was just a no-one, to them I wasn't shit But you were always in me, standing by my side We were only seventeen, and the knot was already tied Then the shadows tried to take you on that ever-dreadful day But I’m a part of you, so I couldn't look away You pointed through the shaking, my thoughts began to race I took my daddy’s forty-five and I saved our holy place I did it all for us, and though I’m facing years There’s no such thing as distance, and there’s no such thing as fears The last thing that you told me when I left the courtroom door: "We’re never gonna be apart, 'neath the moon forevermore." I’ll forever be inside you, even if I’m doomed We’re never truly parted while we’re both under the moon I sit here in my cell and the walls are made of stone But I look into the corner, and I’m never on my own I don't need to write a letter, I don't need to send a plea Because every breath you’re taking is a breath inside of me I don’t need a telephone, I don’t need the glass I feel your fingers on my skin as the heavy hours pass My head is never spinning, I’m leaning on the wall I’m breathing in your spirit, I can hear your every call You’re not "out there" getting married, you’re not "out there" getting lost We’re a single soul together, no matter what the cost I don't need to break these bars or try to hunt a ghost Because I’m living in your shadow, and that’s where I love the most My body might be weary, my skin might turn to dust But we are fused together in a way the world can’t rust I’m staring at the window of my quiet little room And I see your face reflecting on the surface of the moon Many, many years, many more to go Are we still together? Yeah, the angels know I’ll never be a savage, though they chain me to the wall I can feel your pulse beating, I can hear your every call I’m not a man forgotten, I’m not a man who’s lost I’m the half of you they hidden, at a heavy, heavy cost And to the girl who is my life, my heaven, and my doom: We’re walking hand in hand tonight... under the moon. We’re still here under the moon We’re never apart under the moon (Never apart... never alone...)
