The Soldier's Wife
She's drowning in a sea of shadows
The world fades away
The only thing in her tear streaked eyes
Is his dying face
Her heart beats fast while his slows down
She cannot let him go
His sweet blue eyes open one last time
And she is filled with woe
His eyes are filled with burning love
She doesn't know what to do
Yet she understands the choice he made
To live his life like so few
He smiles such a pure sweet smile
Never fearing death
Her heart is breaking all the while
As he takes his last breath
A sigh escapes her parted lips
And she crouches in despair
Through misty eyes she leans down
And kisses his sandy hair
Farewell she says Farewell my love
She knows he's out of pain
Farewell she whispers Farewell my love
And the clouds part in rain
