Shadows In The Moonlight

She was raised in Kentucky
In a good christian home
They had plans for her future
That to them were carved in stone

He came from West Virginia
To work down at the mill
From his tiny window he could see
Her house up on the hill

The first time that he saw her
She was in her Sunday dress
He came to church in his working clothes
Trying to look his best

Somewhere between the sermon
And the congregation's rise
They caught a crystal vision of their future
In each other's eyes

Cross that Big Sandy River
What's done has been done
No one knows who we are
No one knows where we're from

We'll raise off a family
We'll build us a home
But tonight we're just
Shadows in the moonlight

The father heard the ladder
Land against the bedroom wall
Come outside waving a pistol
Yelling leave my child alone

She ran for the wagon while they struggled for the gun
It went off like a cannon
Someone cried
My god what have I done

Cross that Big Sandy River
What's done has been done
No one knows who we are
No one knows where we're from

We'll raise off a family
We'll build us a home
But tonight we're just
Shadows in the moonlight

And I hope it will be forgiveness
In the days yet to come
But tonight, we're just
Shadows in the moonlight
Yes tonight, we're just
Shadows in the moonlight
