Singing

She's singing
He's singing
A couple trapped in endless sin
The guard grabs her lover's arm
Pulls him out of their cell
She calls out his name

She's singing
He's singing
A couple caged in endless sorrow
She reaches out her hand
Through the rusted iron bars
He calls out her name

She's singing
He's singing
A couple trapped in endless loss
The guard drags him away
She falls to her knees
And sings a hopeful tune

She's singing
He's singing
A couple about to lose each other
He is laid before the executioner
He watches as they hold up the ax
He whispers along to the tune she sang long ago

"My darling,
Do you see me now?
Staring this life in the face
I'll always be here

My darling,
I hope you saw somehow
I always loved your silent grace
You keep away my fears"
