Lyrics:
A BREATH THAT'S SILENCED FAR TOO QUICK
BEFORE SHE KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH IT
SHE'S ALONE, ALL ALONE
A HAND THAT SHOULD BE FORGED FROM LOVE
NO MATTER HOW REVERED IT WAS
HE'S THE STONE, TO BREAK HER BONES

SHE STUMBLES TO THE GROUND SOMETIMES
BUT ALWAYS FINDS THE WILL INSIDE
TO GET UP, TO GET UP
SHE LOOKS TO HIM FOR GUIDING LIGHT
BUT HE'S JUST A TRAIN CONCEALED BY NIGHT
SHE'S ON THE TRACKS, ON THE TRACKS

AND WITH A FLASH OF LIGHT THE CANDLES DIE
THE WAVES SUBSIDE AND THE ANGELS CRY
OH THEY CRY
SO LAY YOUR HEAD TO REST MY DEAR
CAUSE NO ONE ELSE CAN HURT YOU HERE
NO, HE CAN'T TOUCH YOU HERE

FROM OUT OF NOWHERE COMES THE HAND
THAT SHOULD CRADLE HER WITHOUT DEMAND
BUT SHE WILL FALL, SHE WILL FALL
SO A SMALL TOMBSTONE AND SOME PRISON BARS
ALL THAT REMAINS WITH BROKEN HEARTS
IT'S TOO LATE, (FOR HER TO BE SAVED)

AND WITH A FLASH OF LIGHT THE CANDLES DIE
THE WAVES SUBSIDE AND THE ANGELS CRY
OH THEY CRY
SO LAY YOUR HEAD TO REST MY DEAR
CAUSE NO ONE ELSE CAN HURT YOU HERE
NO, HE CAN'T TOUCH YOU HERE

THANK YOU LEVI SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS FOR US, MY FAMILY TRULY APPRECIATES YOU. THE SONG IS BEAUTIFUL!!

[ltootle84]

@ashlyneal Not a problem at all. After Amber told me what happened, I read about it and it hit me kinda hard. Took forever to get it recorded cuz i would just have to step away from it for a while to not dwell on it. Terrible situation.
