"Antietam"
Album – Broken Ties

Lead me on, through the night.
Though I tire, let me fly
to my love beyond the plain;
the man who promised his name.
Meadows sleep 'neath the sky.
Dovies sing a lullaby
to the young, and now the free.
He's gone so far from me.
[small break]
Darkness silent and still,
fading slowly from the hill.
Resting gently in the dew,
behold the love I barely knew.
[break]
Morning rise on the green
where the fair bugle sings.
Lone I wait; broken ties,
not to live, but survive.
[break - fade out]
