[00:15.42]Through rolling hills and many miles of blood
[00:22.75]
[00:25.03]We slept in the rainfall and marched through the mud
[00:32.15]
[00:34.90]And you were not like anyone I'd known
[00:42.83]
[00:44.53]You spoke with impunity had nothing to atone
[00:51.82]
[00:54.26]And quiet evenings you told me what you thought
[01:00.77]
[01:01.77]About servants and kings and how everyone is bought
[01:09.10]
[01:11.50]And that no ones hands are bloodier than god's
[01:18.50]
[01:22.67]And I won't be judged for doing as I ought
[01:28.32]
[01:42.96]It's hard to say just when I fell in love
[01:50.21]
[01:52.61]There was no epiphany no light from above
[02:00.21]
[02:02.48]But you'd become my candle in the dark
[02:10.08]
[02:12.14]And all through that hell you were the shield across my heart
[02:19.38]
[02:22.23]When all was fire and the world was out for blood
[02:27.57]
[02:29.57]And the boys still too young to drink were drowned in the flood
[02:37.08]
[02:39.41]I'd hear you laughing as I'd come on out for air
[02:47.57]
[02:50.22]And I'd laugh with you pretend I didn't care
[02:56.25]
[03:19.01]Now twenty years have passed since the last time I saw you
[03:23.83]
[03:27.08]When I kissed you on the mouth you walked away
[03:30.98]
[03:34.63]I knew it'd be too much I knew that it would scare you
[03:39.01]
[03:41.53]But I couldn't find the proper words for what I had to say
[03:46.58]
[03:48.32]But I don't regret a thing
