She once waved white cloth but now,
Tears of blue satin fall,
As a girl who once smiled at life,
Cries with the pain of it all.
She once waved blue satin but now,
Drops of red velvet fall,
As a girl who once loved the world,
Sees the hatred that's found in all.
She once waved red velvet but now,
Rags of black silk fall,
As a girl who once had everything,
Begins to lose it all.
She once waved black silk but now,
She waves nothing at all,
As a girl who clung to emotions,
Lets go to watch them fall.
She once waved an empty hand but now,
Another's pulls her inside,
As a girl who sat on the edge of life,
Finds new hope in another's eyes.
He let go of all he cared for,
Let it fall to the ground,
In a desperate attempt to repay the favour,
That kept him safe and sound.
His hands now empty, unhindered,
He reached and offered support,
To a girl he could see had lost more than he dared to think of.
She accepted
He smiled
And both now wave together
Made stronger by fear and trust

She once waved white cloth but now,
Tears of blue satin fall,
As a girl who once smiled at life,
Cries with the pain of it all.
She once waved blue satin but now,
Drops of red velvet fall,
As a girl who once loved the world,
Sees the hatred that's found in all.
She once waved red velvet but now,
Rags of black silk fall,
As a girl who once had everything,
Begins to lose it all.
She once waved black silk but now,
She waves nothing at all,
As a girl who clung to emotions,
Lets go to watch them fall.
She once waved an empty hand but now,
Another's pulls her inside,
As a girl who sat on the edge of life,
Finds new hope in another's eyes.
He let go of all he cared for,
Let it fall to the ground,
In a desperate attempt to repay the favour,
That kept him safe and sound.
His hands now empty, unhindered,
He reached and offered support,
To a girl he could see had lost more than he dared to think of.
She accepted
He smiled
And both now wave together
Made stronger by fear and trust
