Verse 1
I look at the clock, it`s 4am
-
another child waiting to die
-
the fresh sea breeze gently moved her hair she smiled and felt safe with her father standing there
-
As the sword arced down and the blade bit the rope she launched into the air in a blind leap of hope
-
as she made her way north on the cold black trail she knew everyone prayed she wouldnt fail
-
they stood by the cliff, let the hours go by
and watched the sun slowly sink in to a liquid sky
-
and here you are
in the blink of an eye
-
another celebration of a life so dear another joyous day cause i know your here
-

i'll be gone one day without a trace
-

im walking away from the best thing in my life
before the day turns into night
-

Verse 1
one mile in these shoes
-
I'm Watching you walk through that door so much pain
-
Another year passes me by
gone forever in the blink of an eye
-
watching you walk slowly by
you've captured my essence , my soul and my eye
