My love's been taken away from me Bound in chains by the king's decree A child of God accused of witchery Imprisoned by their lies
The winds of fear are blowing strong They'll take her life even though they're wrong As the sun will rise at the break of dawn On the gallows she will die
Oh how cruel the hands of fate
Oh heaven stop this grave mistake And grant this wish that I shall make Instead of her, my life they take Salvation lies too far
So beyond this world our hearts will twine Even stronger still, yours and mine Love immortal for all time Written in the stars
Oh how cruel the hands of fate
Chorus By the moonlight I wait for eternity And pray that my love is returned to me There's no man with a heavier heart than me In the shadow of the Tyburn tree
Oh magic moon won't you stay and hold back the sun For my love and I, on a moonbeam will fly And the morning never comes And the morning never comes
Chorus By the moonlight I wait for eternity And pray that my love is returned to me There's no man with a heavier heart than me In the shadow of the Tyburn tree
By the moonlight I wait for eternity With a phoeful heart and a desparate plea And a prayer that my love will be set free From the shadow of the Tyburn tree
