Melissas Waiting

When I woke up from the war
stone cold and gray in the wintertime
And I looked up and I saw
she was not the victim type
No maybe, just maybe
not another savior running wild
And she held me as I climbed out
and left behind these prison walls

And I know there was something more
Still I find I just can't recall it now

In the wonder of it all
now I will forever know her name
And it's so hard, she is gone
but I love her just the same
And lately, lately
can't help but think what might have been
If she'd left me going crazy
caught in a war I'd never win

And I know there was something more
Still I find I just can't recall it now

All is white
then they waltz in
Hear them whispering the blessing
hurry now Melissa is waiting
In the courtyard, from the bedroom
I can see someone's closing in

And I know there was something more
Still I find I just can't recall it now
