lyrics

Night falls across this town, veiling all in black. Alone, a woman waits, but he does not come back. Outside the city lights, looming on a hill, the graveyard's dressed in white, the frigid air is still.

Time marches slowly on. She has begun to learn, that though the seasons pass, still he will not return. He was the best of men. He fought for wife and home. So when his life was sacrificed, there was a pain she'd never known.

His ashes were brought home, when months had turned to years. Though she was all but dead, this confirmed her oldest fear. But the closure brought some kind of peace, to a life left so incomplete. Now the widow knows that he is gone, and thus she sang her swan song:

My heart now bears a scar, from years of pain I've known. And though my Love is dead, at least my Love is home. And though the ground is cold, you gone is colder still. Now I will follow you, I'll find you on the hill.
