Billy Horton was a cautious man of the road

And then very carefully he'd proceed
Billy met a young girl

in the early days of May

he let his cautiousness slip away

In their lover's twilight

With his own hands built

Now Billy was an honest man

He wanted to do what was right

He worked hard to fill their lives

One night, Billy woke from
a terrible dream,

calling his wife's name

She lay breathing beside him
in a peaceful sleep,

a thousand miles away

He got dressed in the moonlight,

And when he got there,
Ab
Db
Gb
Fm
he did n't find nothing but road
Db
But he felt a coldness rise up inside him

That he couldn't name

Just as the words tattooed
across his knuckles
Fm
Gb
He knew it would always remain
At their bedside
from his wife's face
Gb
As the moon shone on her skin so white
Ab
Db
in the beauty of God's fallen light
