[Verse 1]
Oh, my love, I pray for you, I stand in your garden and weep
As southern winds blow over me, the air grows bitter and bleak
He wrote to me almost every day, he wrote, "Little girl, be brave"
I cast my eyes over blood-red fields, and I sink into my grave
[Pre-Chorus]
Count your blessings, and forget your sins
For this is where the dream ends and life begins
[Chorus]
He walked away with his head high
And a smile to shadow his pain
Nothing but the world stands between us
In all of its glory, the sun will rise again
[Verse 2]
Oh, my love, I long for you, but your voice escapes my mind
The ember glow of the burning sky leaves a sinister beauty behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Count your blessings, and forget your sins
For this is where the dream ends and life begins
[Chorus]
He walked away with his head high
And a smile to shadow his pain
Nothing but the world stands between us
In all of its glory, the sun will rise again
In all of its glory, the sun will rise again
