I Seen Her Eyes Close
Whoever thought we would
say goodbye in a place like this
No time to stand still
Only the sighs in our hearts
Everything is lost
All homes burned to the ground
I walk through the rubble to see if there
is a face that is familier
A lot of these people I don't know
Some are asking for help
Some are pleading
It's in their eyes
I keep on walking
These people are not my problem
Over the hill and past the creek
is where my lady cries
I find her under some boards and broken glass
I tell her everything will be alright
It will be over soon
She is coughing up blood
Where our unborn child was kept
blood is slowly running from her side
She has tears in her eyes
"I don't want to leave you, I will lose you again."
She reaches out for me
I step back
It's hard to look her in the eye
Especially since I just came from another bed
She knows
"Do you love me...?" She has trouble breathing
and speaking now
It will be over soon
"Love is a quiet gift, I only ever shared it with you."
She cries harder now
I turn around to face her once more
Her beautiful golden hair is covered with blood
her eyes once green are swollen
It doesn't even look like her
I won't cry over this one
I had many women
I will find another one after she goes off
When I seen her eyes close
it came over me anyways
The tears I didn't want to show
to the world or to her
It seems to be so hard to let her go
It is so hard to understand
My heart is turning into cold stone
Maybe I will never love again
