All We Could Find

In the sand, in a foreign land, They found a hand, when the smoke had cleared. In the sand, They boxed up the hand, shipped it home to her. The words on the box, written there in red. ..........All we could find. Alone tonight, she turned out the light, She held his photograph, remembering the things she feared. Alone tonight, Every dream she had, every memory sad. When she read those words, written there in red, ..........All we could find. In the sand, in a foreign land, His wedding band, was blown from his hand. Her wedding band, She placed in the box, wrapped in her tears. As she traced those words, written there in red, ..........All we could find. Her tears ran, into her lonely hand, She lost her man, there in the photograph. Her tears ran, Her love was gone, her heart was torn. As she remembered those words, written there in red, ..........All we could find.
