We met when we were children
Young hearts with old woven souls
He took to me like a wildfire
And encrypted his love into my bones
They took my husband late last night
Past the pyramids and the Caspian Sea
He'll be buried under a starless sky
I'll hold the shape of him till I die
Send him this message for me
Shadows are all I believe in
Tell him I'm ready to meet him in Heaven
"˜Cause without you beside me here, I am not breathin'
Momma, come to me/
I'll stay with you tonight
My sweet-hearted companion
He has left to join the fight
Fire burns where the snow once fell
Blood spills near the oil well
I join the line of a million tears
"˜Cause no one knows my name or my family here
