The Epilogue

Two little ghosts haunting the same home
The one overlooked near the meadow
Often they lay on the floor
And talk of how life was before the orphanage claimed them
The loneliest haven

He grew up fast and left for the front lines
And every night she wrote from the coast line
He would wake from nightmares and reread her words from homе
He longed to see her now
To rеach her somehow

If you had the chance would you run with me
If you had the chance would you run with me

Miles across the ocean
She remained unbroken
Like the shore she knew that he'd come back
Months of never knowing
Years of quiet yearning
She filled her life with light to keep her hope intact
For a moment the path she'd chosen
One straight shot that led to him
With new desire he'd ask again

If you had the chance would you run with me
If you had the chance would you run with me

Two little ghosts stood at the alter
The chapel was bare but their vows were honest
They'd live an ordinary life
Complete with ordinary things
And they'd have each other
Oh they'd keep each other

All alone did they begin
And all alone will they return
Raised to be forgotten
To get less than they deserve
When he fell victim to conscription
And she was left alone to live
No one else could satisfy
She knew it would never not be him
So she fought to reach his heart
And he fought to reach the same
Throughout childhood and trenches
Through the stubborn and the change
They went back to the beginning
To the meadow, to their home
Where their wayward souls emerged
And he would pay the debt she owed

No one knows from where they came
But in the orphanage they'll stay
Raising children knowing always
That who they used to be remains
