Somewhere New

From each other’s streaming eyes, they knew what they must do.
Peering through the tears, they found a sorry smile.
Would this be the last time that they whispered I love you?

Remembering their history and everyone they knew,
From when they found each other to walking down the aisle.
From each other’s streaming eyes, they knew what they must do.

Fled torture and oppression to come to somewhere new.
To find their little angel a life that was worthwhile.
Would this be the last time that they whispered I love you?

They never fully settled and never quite knew who
To trust and share, to find as friends, or who would be hostile.
From each other’s streaming eyes, they knew what they must do.

Their angel snatched and tortured, they’d hoped it was untrue.
Found cold and lifeless on a track, discarded by the vile.
Would this be the last time that they whispered I love you?

He said to her “I love you”, she said she loved him too.
Time to join their angel. Found innocent at trial.
From each other’s streaming eyes, they knew what they must do.
Would this be the last time that they whispered I love you?
