Earth Wind Fire Water
I buried her deep in the ground
The earth covers her all around
We mark the grave with rounded stone
I’m left standing all alone
The wind beneath my wings is gone
Though she battled long and strong
Now with God she waits for me
Where we will unite for eternity
The fire inside angers me
That too young her soul went free
And upon this Earth I continue to tread
Each future year I approach with dread
Time is like water for the fire inside
My hurt and pain, I learn to hide
My angry fire starts to subside
But my lover’s desire I still abide
In the Earth she lies, having taken my wind
The fire extinguished by water within
