When the moon shines bright and lonesome
On the silent moors
Then my true love comes a visiting
Comes knocking at my door
She wears a dress of embers
And begs to let her in
But I know better than that
And tearfully I sing
She left me at the alter
She left me alone to dance
She left me living her dreams
She left without a chance
When the moon shines bright and lonesome
On the silent moors
Then my true love comes a visiting
Comes knocking at my door
I keep the door tight shut
The windows blocked and barred
I will not let that creature in
Though it leaves me scarred.
For she did not leave me truly
For her ghost still carries on
On nights when the moon shines brightly
You can hear her plaintive song
When the moon shines bright and lonesome
On the silent moors
Then my true love comes a visiting
Comes knocking at my door
