This is a clean white shirt, put on today
It's streaked in dirt
There's no other way I'll walk the miles
With Hell to pay
Just to see you smile, If I could stay a while
Leave before the night comes down
Before your man comes around
I'll be back with the sinking moon
I'll be back to get you
I'll be back before long
I'll be back, we'll be gone
Been put down, you been hurt
You can't remember which one came first
The look you got in your eyes
You could see one hundred miles
I'll burn the bridges that get to you
Unpick the stitches and cut the noose
Nothing left for you to say
We'll leave this town at the break of day
I'll be back with the sinking moon
I'll be back to get you
I'll be back before long
I'll be back, we'll be gone
You killed a man in '92
He killed your lover, tried to kill you
Barefoot, on broken stones
You walk the empty hills alone
With the full moon sinking down
Waiting at the edge of town
Waiting for your man to come
He said he'd be back, and you'd be gone
I'll be back with the sinking moon
I'll be back to get you
I'll be back before long
I'll be back, we'll be gone
I'll be back with the sinking moon
I'll be back to get you
I'll be back before long
I'll be back, and we'll be gone
