Ballad of a Deadman - The White Buffalo

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, it 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

Oh, 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
