Standing Small

We set out to save them all
That's where I saw you standing small
Separated by our flags
Saw your eyes, you saw my tags

All else faded so it seemed
Fairest I had ever seen
What I’d give to leave this war
Find you on another shore

Oh the ships came sailing in
Take me where I've never been
In the rage, our city fell
So I bid a fond farewell

I was hanging by a thread
Whispering the words you said
And I fell upon knees
As I watched you out to sea

You’ll find love will do you well
Oh the stories that you'll tell
And you’ll raise your daughters three
With this ring remember me
