Under the Crescent Moon (Live) Lyrics[Verse 1]
Come on, you young man, hear the tale I tell
About our preacher's son, I knew him well
Good intentions, well, he had the best
One body threw it all away, I guess
He met her there, under the crescent moon
And she let him back up to her room
With lured promises and false pretends
She did contrive to steal the sinner's sins
[Chorus]
The morning star, it will be rising soon
After a night under the crescent moon
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
When she could not possess his mortal soul
She gave him poisoned wine and left him cold
Oh, how I wish and how I wish in vain
That I could talk to that young man again
And tell him all the things that I have learned
All the lessons that I never earned
Back when the stream of a passion starts to roam
Sometimes temptation gets out of control
[Chorus]
The morning star, it will be rising soon
After a night under the crescent moon
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Under the crescent moon
