Shadows In the Moonlight - Tommy Shaw

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 op 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 … and the congregation’s rise

They caught a crystal vision of their future

In each other’s eyes

Across that big city 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 a line of land against the bathroom wall

Came 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

Across that big city 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

Across that big city river, what’s done has been done

No one knows who we are, no one knows where we’re from

And I hope it will be forgiveness in the days yet to come

But tonight, we’re just shadows in the moonlight

Yeas tonight, we’re just shadows in the moonlight
