I saw her once before /
Her sister was dead /
A bullet to the head /
Fallen from the sky /
With no target in mind

She sat empty /
As we all looked on /
Trying to show how we cared /
For her /
Her family /
And all that happened /

And now /
She does not know me /
Telling how it all happened /
Casually, distantly /
For the first time /
And I pretend to grieve again

Wait for me /
I will arrive /
With the wind /
And the breath of life /
That waits a night /
For the coming dawn
