The Calm Before the Storm

Two old friends sit talking 'bout the glory days galore
The days when they were far too young to care
Knowing there's a reason for her going off to war
And missing her the time that she's not there
Two young hearts beat softly along a sandy shore
Far beyond the fading of the light
Knowing there's a reason for him going off to war
And knowing that they only have one night
Chorus
He's been holding her just long enough to feel her trembling hand
As she thinks about the way their lives are torn
The sand within their hourglass falls on a distant shore
Just waiting out the calm before the storm
Chorus
He's been holding her just long enough to feel her broken heart
As he leaves her hoping she'll be safe and warm
The sand within their hourglass falls on a distant shore
Just waiting out the calm before the storm
