» Nobody’s Business But The moon

There's a willow
By the lake shore


Where a soft breeze always blows

There's no marker
There's no gravestone


Just a secret nobody knows

He didn't care I wasn't willing


He just threw me to the ground and had his way

When I came to I swore to heaven


I wouldn’t rest until I made him pay

(Chorus)

I may stand in judgment when I die


But there's some things the law just can't put right


There Ain't no absolution, but there damn sure ain't no clues

And it ain't nobody's business but the moon.

I held it inside bided my time

but the water was rising on the wall


that august evening I came to see him

the moon’s the only one that saw it all

Chorus

I held the shotgun
Threw him a shovel

And watched him dig his grave

I let him pray some
And beg forgiveness

Forgiveness I never gave

Yeah I may stand in judgment when I die


But there's some things the law just can't put right


They’ll never find a body

‘cause there damn sure ain't no clues ‘

Cause it ain't nobody's business but the moon

There's a willow by the lake shore

And a secret nobody knows
