Moon Don’t Shine on Men Like Me (alt)

The moon hangs high but turns away, When men like me come down this way I ain’t no tale you tell in light — I’m what rides slow between the night

I left my name where roads collapse, Where no one weeps and time don’t pass I drink from wells the saints won’t near, I speak to ghosts you’ll never hear

Moon don’t shine on men like me, Too far gone, too wild to be Ain’t no lanterns lit for sin — Just wind and dust I carry in

The stars all blink but don’t align, They’ve seen too much of what is mine The wolf don’t bark, he just keeps pace — He knows the rhythm of disgrace

No god has claimed the path I tread, No devil asks for what I’ve bled I ain’t been saved, I ain’t been spared — Just ridden far from those who cared

Moon don’t shine on men like me, A name ain’t worth what truth can be If I was born, it’s lost in sand — Just bone and shadow where I stand

Moon don’t shine on men like me… But still I ride… endlessly No heaven waits, no grave is free — Just miles that answer silently
