The moon is ever, ever watching She watches us o'er field and fen For this is only one man's story Within a tale of many men
Sally at her bedroom window Stands where she's stood for three years past “I fear my true love is lost in battle I'm wondering how long love can last”
The church bell tolls to tell of midnight With three bold knocks at Sally's door And quickly she has risen upright Saying, “Who's this calls at such late an hour?”
And there is stood her own true lover Raven sharp eyes shining through Saying, “Smile on me, love, and I'll not deny thee I have returned this night to you”
“What did I promise when I departed I said that when the bullets flew That I would rise just like the blackbird Safe back to share my life with you”
He's led her up to her bed chamber And bending knelt down where she lay “Oh, rest here in my arms forever And lie here by my side till day"
So she sleeps, and dreams she sees him By her window lit by the moon Saying, “I must be gone ere the rise of the sun, love I fear you've loved and you've lost to soon”
Sally startled has awoken Raven sharp eyes shining through But all that's left are three black feathers And the bright morn so crisp and new
