as lady and i look out tonight
we see a shooting star
hand in hand beneath the sky
we dream of places afar
of paradises where fields green

where birds chatter endlessly
and the wind whispers its song
where rambling brooks and mirror ponds
dot the landscape blue
a place untouched by humanity
except for me and you
a dream we share, most every night
as we look through windows barred
and wish that we were anywhere
except here, where we are
as lady and i look out tonight
at horizon filled with flame
machine gun fire fills the air
part of the deadly game
we hold each other tight and pray
that when the morning light
flickers through the bullet holes
we both will be alright
