We slept in the rainfall and marched through the mud
And you were not like anyone I'd known
You spoke with impunity had nothing to atone
And quiet evenings you told me what you thought
About servants and kings and how everyone is bought
And that no ones hands are bloodier than god's
And I won't be judged for doing as I ought
It's hard to say just when I fell in love
There was no epiphany no light from above
But you'd become my candle in the dark
And all through that hell you were the shield across my heart
When all was fire and the world was out for blood
And the boys still too young to drink were drowned in the flood
I'd hear you laughing as I'd come on out for air
And I'd laugh with you pretend I didn't care
Now twenty years have passed since the last time I saw you
When I kissed you on the mouth you walked away
I knew it'd be too much I knew that it would scare you
But I couldn't find the proper words for what I had to say
But I don't regret a thing
