Lyrics
Silver moon in the sky, shining bright in the night G A7 D A7 Shining on the ones that I love, D G D A7 Silver moon in the sky, shining bright in the night G Em A D Tell me how they’re sleeping tonight G D I’m away from home on some foreign shore A7 D D7 Fighting the enemy in this dessert war G D And the only thing that’s keeping me sane A7 G Em A D Is the thought of seeing my loved ones again. G D I’m not scared of being shot A7 D D7 But of not holding my son again G D And knowing that it’s me he will soon forget A7 G Em A D If I fall on these hot dessert sands CHORUS G D We’ve only been married for a couple of years A7 D D7 And my leaving well it brought on tears G D My son is young and so is she A7 G Em A D Without me how will their lives be G D She’s lonely and in fear of my being dead A7 D D7 I know that she lives in constant dread G D Of the knock on the door and the Padre's call A7 G Em A D He’ll console her and tell of my fall CHORUS G D So I go outside and look to the sky A7 D D7 And I’m praying to God on high G D That he allows that beautiful silver moon A7 G Em A D To watch over me and not let me die D D For I have seen too much violence here A7 D D7 Of pain and suffering I have caused my share G D Now I want to be back where I belong A7 G D Back with my family where the love is so strong CHORUS
