At the window,
she stood,
she waited,
she looked,

she searched,
she cried,
she feared that
he lied

he,
who promised
he would come back
and now she stood
alone instead

but he, oh soldier
who bravely fought,
he who feared the only thought
of his love being hurt,
his love being dead,
he feared this feeling of regret

oh brave soldier,
how hard you cried,
how hard you feared
to let her die,
oh how great he fought

to scream, to run, to stand,
he tries,
covered in blood,
tears in his eyes,
he wanted to...
apologize...

Still at the window...
still she stood,
still she waited,
still she looked,
still she searched,
still she cried,
still she feared,
her father died
