Loreta came through the water, her embers were shining
Candle upon the alter, all behind her in the other country
When I reach out across the weather, and I pull her close to me
We will linger in the distance, like a picture, Loreta and me
Sleep, sleep, oh early fallen
In your green and narrow bed
We will meet beneath the whispers, on the wind, beside the sea
When the golden cord is severed, its forever Loreta and me
She was once a soldier on the wrong side of history
But no one ever told her ‘til it was over in New Orleans
We met in east Virginia, on a battlefield burning
Two killing machines with blood on our sleeves, forever, Loreta and me
Sleep, sleep, oh early fallen
In your green and narrow bed
We will meet beneath the whispers, on the wind, beside the sea
When the golden cord is severed, its forever Loreta and me
