Lexington Lyrics
Will you meet me
At the well
You're my heaven
In this, my hell
I see visions
A candle burns
Brothers fall
Battles turn
And tear us apart
I've suffered losses
It's hard to heal
And you're my only strength of will
Oh, morning near the flag is calling
Oh... find me here inside these
Red word letters
Tears in the revelry
Dreaming of a symphony
Standing at the firing line
Smoke in the fields of Lexington
See you in the cannon's glow
Feel you in the ground below
You will be the ocean on
Smoke in the fields of Lexington
Wedding vows
Upon my chest
Valleys burn
With blood and flesh
Walking ghosts
Fading starts
Through thees words
You hold my heart
Oh, morning near the flag is calling
Oh... find me here inside these
Red word letters
Tears in the revelry
Dreaming of a symphony
Standing at the firing line
Smoke in the fields of Lexington
See you in the cannon's glow
Feel you in the ground below
You will be the ocean on
Smoke in the fields of Lexington
Give our children
My goodbye
And tell them how
If they ask why
Lay one flower
Upon the stone
One last kiss
To send me home
Tears in the revelry
Dreaming of a symphony
Standing at the firing line
Smoke in the fields of Lexington
See you in the cannon's glow
Feel you in the ground below
You will be the ocean on
Smoke in the fields of Lexington
Deathless love of mine
I want you...
