Stars and Strife - Part 2
It was almost the stroke of midnight, when the end of him did come
She heard the breeze blow tenderly, whispering baby it is done.
Her eye's full of anger, full of pain and tormented grief
Still the breeze was whispering, Baby look for me
She walked to-wards the window, as she looked up hoping he was near
Written in the stars, to her surprise the words were spelt out clear
Baby I'm in heaven, with the Angels and the saints
Forgiveness my Father gave me, that my spirit shall not be faint
Live for me my Angel, live life as if with me
Lay the flowers of our love affair upon my grave beneath our tree
She fell upon the floor, as her knee's buckled with the pain
How do I carry on? How here do I remain?
Her vision became blurry, as her tears became a mask
Beside the bed she fumbled for the bottle and the glass
God I beg thee answer, is there anyway to send him back?
Throwing the empty bottle to the wall it hit and smashed
She fell asleep holding to her pillow, to her it felt like him
Until the break of morning light, as sunlight shone straight in
The postman brought a letter, the handwriting well she knew
Inside he'd wrote the message, I'll always be with you
C'mon baby you know better, we don't take on pain like this
Wipe dry those eye's so hurting and give me one more kiss
She closed her eye's to see him, as his face appeared so bright
She could not go on without him, committed suicide that night
Had she only waited, the phone call came too late
Clemency was granted, he had passed over his certain fate
His Innocence was proven, he was coming home
Excited from his prison cell, he said, baby pick up the phone
The call was never answered, her life had slipped away
Upon the floor her body icy cold lay in wait
If only she'd been stronger, If his promise she had kept
To keep him ever with her, to never once forget
Maybe they'd of made it, in this world and to the next
Instead he lives with loneliness, sadness and regrets.
