I heard the first line in a dream and remembered it the next day, the rest just followed on.
There'll be a shadow in the churchyard
When the moon begins to shine
And the longest and the darkest
of the shadows will be mine.
And I will search each earthy mound
Until the one I seek is found
Then, if and when I find that spot
The one that others soon forgot
Oh I will shout, with anguish cry
To God, ask why you had to die
And curse the fact, because you see
The one who should have done was me.

why?
WHY?There'll be a shadow in the churchyard
When the moon begins to shine
And the longest and the darkest
of the shadows will be mine.
And I will search each earthy mound
Until the one I seek is found
Then, if and when I find that spot
The one that others soon forgot
Oh I will shout, with anguish cry
To God, ask why you had to die
And curse the fact, because you see
The one who should have done was me.
