On the docks I watched my lover
In a moon dress she bathed
Gone are the days
Pale and cold, her eyes wore her fear
I watched her gasping between
The waves of the sea

On the docks I watched my only friend
Claw at my feet
Pleading
Help yourself, it's not too late
But I'm done
You were my pride
You were my sorrow

In moonlight, in moonlight she cries
Moonlight keeps me dry
In moonlight, in moonlight she sinks
Moonlight killed my darling

On the docks walked another man
He whispered in my ear
"The end is near"
As her hand sank to the black
His tears did the same
"Where did you come from
What is your name?"

He said "I come from the daylight
Where my heart is in two
As for my name I ask you
On the docks every night I appear
She's always gone
You're always here"

In moonlight, in moonlight she cries
Moonlight keeps me dry
In moonlight, in moonlight she sinks
Moonlight killed my darling

In moonlight we drown
In moonlight we die
Moonlight killed my darling
