She stood on the dock as the rain poured down
Waiting for the ship to come in
Eyes stinging from the rain
Her heart hurts with pain
As she clutches his photograph

Memories rush back into her mind
Of the day's they spent so close
And the gulls in the air
Scream a loud cold cry
And the cold bites the back of her neck
As her heart still bears the scars

As the ship now docks in a solemn mood
Grey as the sky above
All move to see the love so happy
And she grips the picture to her wet chest

Wounded and proud the men start to leave
The bowels of the great ship that mothered them
Wiping her eyes she stares in suprise as a soldier approaches her
Moments go by she falls and preys
As his body is brought on by

Gripping out now to the air full of hate
The rain beats heavy on her
Silence now greets as the world stops at her feet
And lonelinesses kisses her cheek
