There's an innocence about her...
It's written in her eyes...
Yet the experience of every loss
is released in her 'goodbyes'

From the shadows comes a sailor
a weary soldier plain and true...
And as their worlds collide together
they wonder what to do...

So they take each other by the hand
and choose to start their lives anew
and plunge themselves in fiery sin
to cleanse themselves of all they knew...

There's a broken heart at every turn
A shadow where there once was sun
but in her eyes he sees himself
and the reason for the things he's done...

It's sad to think of failure
as a possesion that we store inside
And carry with us as we travel
down the road of fleeting time...

Yet for them there is no sorrow
for the end is not in sight...
He will sing to her forever
and she will wear a dress of white...
