Hand in Hand

The leaves are covered in a coat of white
foot prints are not just found in the sand
two sets are followed into the night
what they find is us hand and hand.

The wind blows a cold frost
water becomes ice
a couple kiss under the stars
it's just not where we are.

The sound of silence fills the house
a pin hits the floor
I'm lost in my thoughts of yesterday
and you're just too far away.

The room is cold where I rest
heat doesn't make it past the door
next to the bed is a shot glass
glass is scattered across the ground
the bottle broke and a note is upside down.

The body lay stiff in the bed
hours have gone by without a breath
a picture lay upon his chest
it's of you my love it's of you.

The years have been long
whiskey has been hard
you were taken away
like a ciggarete put out in the night
I'm coming home to stay.

As they lay the body in the ground
they read his final words
"Dear love, I've walked alone for so long
I wonder if you still love me so
do you long for me to hold you?
Am I a lost memory as you wait at th gate?
Honey I'm coming home.
Love forever,
me"
roses are placed upon his grave
a couple dances into the night hand in hand.
